Re: Hera
Is that different from when Hera, Poseidon, and Athena supposedly tried depose him, but Thetis ruined the plan? I thought they gave up after that.

I think that was a different incident. Zeus's siblings (Hera, Poseidon, Hades, and maybe Demeter) trapped Zeus on one occasion and let him out when he promised to be a better leader. Zeus was made king of the gods partially with the understanding that he would be better than Cronus. It has been a while since I read the myth, but I believe that Hephaestus made a net with which to trap Zeus. They let him go once he swore not to abuse his power as much.
