Zeus tied Hera to the vault of heaven with an anvil bound to her ankles, when she persecuted Heracles, his son. While he threw Hephaestus, Hera's son, down the Olympus, when he tried to defend her. He punished Tantalus, with the famous torment, because he had served human flesh to the gods; Prometheus was punished, because he had created mankind, and then he had stolen the fire to give it to human beings as a present; Sisyphos tried to blackmail Zeus, for this reason he was sent to push a boulder up an hill in the Tartarus for ever. Moreover Zeus compelled Apoll and Poseidon to serve mortals, as they rebelled against him.
