Overthrowing the Titans, Zeus castrated Cronos and banished him to Tartarus. Disguised as a cup-bearer, Zeus mixed a brew into Cronos' wine, causing him to vomit up the stone that had taken his place, and then his siblings. Once grown, the young God sought to free his siblings and overthrow his father. When the loss of his older siblings by their father Cronos became too great for Rhea to bare any longer, she hid him from Cronos far away, giving him a stone to swallow instead. He was very well known for his erotic escapades with beautiful mortal women, resulting in many godly and heroic offspring, including Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Perseus, Hercules, Helen and Minos. Zeus was the youngest son of Cronos and Rhea. His symbols were the Lightning bolt, the Eagle, the Oak Tree and the Bull. In Greek Mythology, Zeus was the King of the Gods, ruler of Olympus, and God of the Sky, Heavens, and Lightning.
