Zeus is probably the most famous god in ancient Greek mythology. How he came to power is closely related to the titan war, otherwise known as the Titanomachy. The titan war is a story depicting the struggle for reign over the cosmos between 2 sides, the titans and the emerging gods.

The tale begins when Cronus, the youngest first-generation titan usurped his father Uranus and took over as ruler of the cosmos. Cronus did so at the behest of his mother, Gaia. She was furious at Uranus for imprisoning her other children, the cyclopes and the hecatoncheires deep inside the earth, inside her. So her initial plan was to persuade Cronus to overthrow Uranus and help her free his imprisoned siblings, but Cronus grew wicked and instead of freeing them, he changed the location of their prison to Tartarus and assigned the dragon Campe to guard their prison. Infuriated, the now reconciled Gaia and Uranus told a prophecy of Cronus. As he has usurped his own father, so shall his youngest son overthrow his rule as well.
