Hmm, yes, maybe. But to be honest, they were probably just trying to hide affairs and not really shagging Zeus. But don't quote me on this!

Male gods raping mortal woman was canon.

As in, nearly every Greek myth with a male god and a mortal woman featured rape. They weren't coy about it.

Rape or attempted rape. There was the whole Io(?) situation where Zeus was thwarted by Io running away and Hera being done with his shit.
