Zeus
Zeus was the sixth child of Cronos and Rhea. His mother, in fear of him being swallowed by his father, like the first five children hid him on the island of Crete. When he was fully grown he came back and declared war on his father and with the help of Gaia gave him a
drug which forced him to throw up his five brothers and sisters. Then he declared war against the titans.He fought the titans for nine years.
The first marriage of Zeus was to Mytida (the goddess of thinking). Not long after his wedding Zeus learned that his wife was going to have two children , a boy and a girl.
