The Greek god Zeus was the top Olympian god in the Greek pantheon. After he took credit for rescuing his brothers and sisters from their father Cronus, Zeus became king of heaven and gave his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, the sea and the underworld, respectively, for their domains.
Zeus was the husband of Hera, but he had many affairs with other goddesses, mortal women, and female animals. Zeus mated with, among others, Aegina, Alcmena, Calliope, Cassiopea, Demeter, Dione, Europa, Io, Leda, Leto, Mnemosyne, Niobe, and Semele.
There are many myths about Zeus. Some involve demanding acceptable conduct of others, whether human or divine. For instance, for the crime of either stealing fire or giving fire to mankind, Zeus punished Prometheus with having his liver pecked out every day. But Zeus himself misbehaves -- at least according to human standards.
It is tempting to say of Zeus that his primary occupation is seducer. In order to seduce, he sometimes changed his shape into that of an animal or bird. When he impregnated Leda, he appeared as a swan. When he abducted Ganymede, he appeared as an eagle in order to take Ganymede to the home of the gods where he would replace Hebe as cupbearer; and when Zeus carried off Europa, he appeared as a tempting white bull -- although why the Mediterranean women were so enamored of bulls is beyond the imaginative capacities of this urban-dweller -- setting in motion the quest of Cadmus and the settling of Thebes . The hunt for Europa provides one mythological version of the introduction of letters to Greece.

In order to solve the puzzle, fill in the blanks using the following clues:

# of brothers he had, letters in his wife's name, # of sisters he had.

# of weeks in a year divided by 2 plus 1, # of siblings he had.

I solved this puzzle today. This was the second of four mystery caches I found this evening. If it were a snake, it would have bit me. I was looking in various places and literally jumped when I turned and spotted it. Thanks for the puzzle!
