I think there was never any indication that Dione (pronounced Dee oh knee) was ever Zeus wife (let alone first wife). Metis the Titaness was his first wife but he ate her in the same way that Kronos had eaten his children to prevent any of his children replacing him as ruler of the universe. There was a prophecy that Metis would bear a child more powerful than the father and Zeus to prevent this destroyed Metis. Metis was the Titaness of Wisdom and Zeus paid for his crime because he started suffering from headaches and his skull was split open by Hephaestus, I think, to allow Athena, the new goddess of Wisdom to arise from Zeus' head.
It seems this prophecy of a more powerful son kept following Zeus around and Thetis a sea goddess, with whom Zeus was planning to start a sexual liason, also had a similar prophecy. This time Zeus was more sensible and married Thetis to King Pelus who fathered the greatest Greek warrior of all time: Achilles.
Dione….Dionysus….? Daughter?
I thought Aphroditry was made of cronous testicles being thrown into the sea. there is a place in Cyprus the birth place of Aphroditry aphrofitys rock didn't know she had a mother.
Dude literally the Oracle of Dodona which in fact is in Albania is a perfect example of the Druids , why do l say that ? Well in Dodona the prophecy came from leaves of a special trees and in Albanian language which mind you is older than most languages Dru means Wood / Tree so a Druid means of woods . As for Dione her name literally means Goddess of wisdom or intelligence since Di means to know while her husband Zeus mean Voice/ Sound . In fact only through Albanian language do these names make perfect sense since they are words used still. Aphrodite means Near Dawn or the day is near
so many stories you could make about Zeus's wife Dione
