Other names for Zeus are the Lord of the Sky, the Rain God, and the Cloud Gatherer He is the youngest of 6 born to Cronus and Rhea. His father, Cronus, was warned that one of his offspring would dethrone him. To prevent that, he swallowed each of his children immediately following their births. Except for Zeus. Rhea saved him by replacing him with a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, which he swallowed. Zeus was raised on Crete and cared for by the ash nymph, Adrasta, and her sister, Io. When he was grown, he returned, and with Rhea and Metis' help, was able to lace Cronus' cup with an emetic. This caused Cronus to vomit up the 5 gods and goddesses, fully grown, and the stone. After Zeus struck Cronus dead with a thunderbolt, they all assembled under Zeus' leadership.
