He could at times display great cruelty, quick to anger, and selfishness. He was perhaps most famous as someone almost ruled by his lust and desire to dominate everything around him.

Hera could be serene, queenly, and stately at times. Everything one would expect from a queen. However, she is most famous for her jealousy of Zeus's numerous affairs and taking out her anger on either his lovers or their offspring.

Apollo could be reasonable and benevolent at times as the god of light, poetry, and healing. At the same time he had his moments of cruelty.
