Zeus is the god of lightning and is the king of the gods because he killed his father, the Titan Cronus.
Zeus freed his siblings from the stomach of Cronus. Cronus learned right when his wife, Rhea, was having baby gods that his son would overthrow him and take the throne of Olympus. So one by one he ate his kids as they were wrapped in blankets. Being gods they did not die but stayed in his stomach. Rhea, his distraught wife, ran and had her final baby, Zeus, in a cave and gave him to the nymphs to protect him. She wrapped a rock in a blanket and took it to Cronus which he gobbled up, thinking it was the baby. Later, when Zeus learned that his father ate his siblings he drugged Cronus and his siblings sprang out of Cronus' mouth.
Zeus wanted to defeat Cronus for eating his brothers. Zeus went and fought Cronus. It took along time and Cronus fought, but Zeus won, taking the throne and becoming lord of the sky. He took lightning for himself. He moved onto Mount Olympus and he gave his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, gifts. Poseidon got the sea and Hades got the Underworld.
Zeus displayed great bravery and courage in this story.
