An unfaithful husband, what should I do?

I am from Greece, and from a very powerful family, too. I married my husband when I was very young, and everyone told me what a wonderful thing it was. I believed them, though my husband had been married before thrice, to a woman called Metic, then to Themis, and then he was very interested in Demeter, and then he married Mnemosyne. This should have been a huge red flag to me, but I didn't know any better, and he tricked me well, so I married him. We had five children together, but soon I found out that he was not faithful. A couple of times I forgave him. But, recently, I found out the full scope of his infidelities. He slept with about everybody - women of our class, of middle class, and of lower classes. He had a bunch of children with them! I found them all, and ade a list, and it goes for he whole three pages: Aphrodie, Asteria, Deemeter, Dione, Eurynome, Gaia, Aiginia, Aix, Deino, Elektra, Alkmene, Antiope, Danae, and so on, and so on, the whole three pages! Some of the women my husband have been with claim that he forced himself on them; he is a very good looking, wealthy, powerful man, so I am not sure if it's true or maybe they are after his status and money. I feel so betrayed, and humiliated, too. I always took pride in my family, I am Cronus' eldest daughter, after all! And I bore my husband five beautiful children! Now I am a laughing stock of everybody. What should I do?
