After swallowing his first wife and raping his mother (the titaness Rhea) who tried to forbid him from marrying because of his excessive lust, Zeus pursued his sister Hera for three hundred years. Hera refused, being aware of his lustful nature. In the end he resorted to trickery, turning himself into a cuckoo with a broken wing. When Hera picked up the bird to comfort it, he turned back into Zeus and raped her. She married him out of shame at the rape. In fact, the rape of Hera represents the defeat of feminine concept of the supreme being by the male, which scholars believe happened when Aryans invaded the ancient Greeks and replaced Hera as the supreme being with Zeus.
