He was born to Cronus and Rhea. Cronus was swallowing his other children, but Rhea wrapped up a stone in blankets which Cronus then swallowed. Rhea then gave him to Amalthea, a nymph. to watch over. When he was older, he gave Cronus a mixture of mustard and wine, making him cough up his brothers and sisters. A war then ensured, in which Zeus chopped Cronus up into peices and flung him into Tarturus. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades then drew lots for the Earth, in which Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got the sea, and Hades got the Underworld.
