What are all the animal forms that Zeus took in Greek Mythology?
Lucian Dialogues of the Gods has Zeus speaking to Eros:
The pranks you have played me! Satyr, bull, swan, eagle, shower of gold — I have been everything in my time; and I have you to thank for it.
Those are the most famous ones
- Bull: Europa
- Swan: Leda
- Shower of gold: Danae
