Zeus tries his best to explain to Ganymede that he is a god now who has no need of sheep, while Ganymede laments his fate and all the things he'll miss from his life as a mortal. Ganymede notes that if he is not returned wolves will eat the sheep he's supposed to guard. Zeus says he's the god of thunder, which at first confuses Ganymede. Ganymede wonders whether he's Pan, who is greatly honoured by his family, whereas he thinks Zeus is just a kidnapper. Zeus explains that he's neither an eagle nor a man, but the king of gods. Zeus has just snatched Ganymede from earth, who asks to be returned back, and is distressed by the reveal that the eagle who grabbed him had turned into a man. Zeus takes Ganymede in the form of an eagle Zeus orders Hermes to scoop down in Nemea, kill Argus and lead Io to Egypt, where she'll be worshiped as the goddess Isis. Zeus informs him that because of Hera's jealousy, the girl's been turned into a cow, then placed her under the strict guardship of Argus. Zeus asks Hermes if he's heard of the Argive princess Io, to which Hermes responds positively. Zeus declines, and tells Eros to stop with his tricks. Eros points out that Daphne, however, did not love him he suggests that in order to be more desirable, Zeus should grow long locks, wear fashionable clothes, and take part in dances. Eros simply says it's because they're mortal, and cannot withstand his true form, but Zeus says that Hyacinthus and Branchus both loved Apollo. He demands to know why Eros keeps playing with him, compelling Zeus to transform into a satyr, then a bull, then gold, then a swan, then an eagle, since Eros never makes women reciprocate Zeus' love, forcing Zeus to deceive them. Zeus is not buying it, given Eros' ancient age. Zeus is angry at Eros, who asks Zeus to forgive him, seeing how he's just a small child. Disappointed, Zeus says that Thetis will never be his, and tells Prometheus that he'll have Hephaestus release him. Zeus is reluctant, but agrees, and Prometheus warns him not to woo Thetis, for she is destined to give birth to a son mightier than his father, who could potentially overthrow Zeus. Prometheus pleads again with him, and promises he'll give Zeus vital information. Zeus, still angry at him, refuses, reminding Prometheus of his crimes, and argues that his punishment is in fact too light. Prometheus asks Zeus to be released from Caucasus, where he's been chained ever since he stole fire from the gods.
