Throughout human history there has always been personality traits that have been restricted to two of the sexes: female and male.

As an illustrated numerous times, Hercules is often thought to be one of the most emotionally complex heroes in Greco-Roman history. Anger that so often possess Hercules’ is considered a masculine occurrence rather than a feminine one yet the deed of acting on any type of emotion is often deemed feminine.…
How did I end up like this… I am the daughter of Zeus because I can shape shift, mimic voices, and control weather. My 1st piece of evidence that I am Zeus’ daughter is that I can change my shape into the shape of an animal. Zeus could also shape shift so that he looked like an animal or person.

This was because Hera was very good at finding out who Zeus was spending his free time with and making a habit of punishing those he fooled around with (greekmythology.com). As King of the Gods, Zeus has shown to be a very powerful and intelligible god, even though Fate had far greater power than he could even dream. He did have a few issues though: these were mainly all the affairs that he kept getting caught having or how he could be tricked and deceived. For the most part he did a very good job, and just about everyone loved him, considering how he was a fair and loving god (even though he required sacrifices of men and right actions from time to time) that watched over everyone below him dispensing justice as needed, rewarding the good and…
