The birth of Zeus belongs to the third generation of gods who overthrew the second generation - the titans. The father of Zeus Kronos was predicted that he was destined to be defeated by his own son and, in order not to be overthrown by his children, he each time swallowed the child just born to Rhea. Rhea finally decided to deceive her husband and secretly gave birth to another child - Zeus. According to Pausanias, "to enumerate all those areas that claim to be considered the birthplace and upbringing of Zeus from them, it would be impossible even for someone who would approach this issue with all seriousness." Different versions of the myth name the island of Crete (a cave in Mount Dikte [or Mount Ida) or Phrygia (Mount Ida) as the birthplace. Instead of a newborn, she gave Kronos a swaddled stone to swallow. The navel of Zeus fell off at the city of Fena in Crete. The newborn Zeus was bathed in the river Lusius in Arcadia. According to Theodore of Samothrace, Ptolemy Hephaestion, having been born, laughed continuously for 7 days, which is why the number 7 is sacred. According to the Cretan version of the myth, Zeus was given to the education of the Curetes and Corybantes, who fed him with the milk of the goat Amalthea. Also in Crete, he was fed with bee honey. According to another version, he was fed by a goat in the town of Aegius in Achaia. According to legend, guards guarded the cave and every time little Zeus started to cry, they banged their shields with spears so that Kronos would not hear it.

POWER FIGHT When Zeus grew up, he made a potion that caused Kronos to spit out Zeus' brothers. According to one version, Zeus was brought up on Naxos. When he went on a campaign against the titans, he noticed an eagle and guessed a good omen in it. When the gods divided the birds, Zeus got the eagle. On the scepter of Zeus is an eagle. When Zeus opposed Kronos, the gods made an alliance. The altar on which they swore they made a constellation. Then, together with Zeus, the gods began to fight with Kronos. The battle lasted 9 years, but did not reveal the winner. Then Zeus freed the Cyclopes and the Hundred-armed from Tartarus, who swore allegiance to Zeus. Finally, the titans were defeated and cast into the abyss.

ATTEMPTS TO OVERTHROW The first attempt to overthrow Zeus was made by Poseidon, Hera and Apollo: they chained Zeus with a chain and already wanted to imprison him in Tartarus, but his beloved Nereid Thetis called for help from the son of Uranus, the hecatoncheir Briareus. After the rebellion, Poseidon and Apollo built the walls of Troy, and Hera was suspended on golden chains between heaven and earth. The second time was a prophecy that no one knew except Gaia and Prometheus. Zeus did not dare to disturb Gaia, since she was so ancient and respectable, and Prometheus did not say anything to Zeus then, for he ruled cruelly and greedily. Zeus chained Prometheus, but after many years Prometheus revealed the prophecy to Zeus, and he did not marry Thetis.
