In the myths

In Greek myth, Zeus is the youngest son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. His mother bore him on Crete, where Earth hid him in a cave so that Cronus could not swallow him as he had his other children.

Grown, Zeus freed his siblings, and together they overthrew the Titans in a ten-year war. He then ruled from Mount Olympus as king of the gods, wielding the thunderbolt, while his brothers Poseidon and Hades took the sea and the underworld.
