**- When Zeus was born, his father planned to swallow him, as he had to Zeus’ siblings. This never happened because his mother hid him in a cave on Mount Dicte in Crete. After he had grown up, Zeus caused his father to throw up his sisters and brothers, who joined him in the fight for control of the universe between his father, Cronus, also their king, and the Titans. In defeating his father and the other Titans, Zeus managed to imprison the Titans in the underworld, Tartarus. He and his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, divided up creation. Poseidon’s domain was the sea, and Hades’ was the Underworld, Zeus taking the sky. Zeus also was to be supreme authority on earth and Mount Olympus**
