All of them had been growing undigested in Kronos' stomach, being immortal gods. ![]() As before, Kronos won the contest, but Zeus' emetic was so powerful, that it forced him to instantly disgorge all of the contents of his stomach, in reverse order of swallowing: first the boulder, then Poseidon, followed by Hades, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. Near the end of the Titanic banquet, Zeus encouraged all of the Titans to have yet another drinking contest, and handed out the prepared goblets. As before, Zeus entertained them all with his excellent singing, wild Kouretes' dance moves, and outrageously hilarious satyr jokes. The god prepared nectar mixed with sleeping potion for Kronos' guests to knock them out, while he prepared an extremely powerful emetic (made from nectar mixed with mustard) for Kronos himself which would make him vomit everything that he had once eaten out. One evening, when Kronos was dining together with his Titanic brothers and nephews, Zeus prepared a special set of drinks for them all. Finally, the Titan King began trusting Zeus completely, which is exactly what the latter was waiting for. As the Titan King of Mount Othrys, Kronos would always win, since he could not let his siblings or nephews overcome him in anything. Shortly thereafter, Zeus encouraged all of the male Titans to participate in drinking contests. With the help of his great singing and dancing skills (as well as his knowledge of many outrageously hilarious "satyr jokes"), Zeus was able to constantly entertain all of the Titans at Mount Othrys, even Kronos himself. When Zeus grew to adulthood, he successfully transformed into a Titanic version of himself, and (with help from his mother) infiltrated Mount Othrys by convincing Kronos to hire him as his royal cup bearer. Rhea would often tell Zeus about his brothers and sisters, all of whom he was destined to rescue from his father's stomach. Throughout his childhood, Zeus was raised by Rhea (who visited him often), the nine nymphs, the loud Kouretes, and the goat Amaltheia. Kronos swallowed it without even looking (which gave him an intense stomachache), and was successfully deceived. She used a huge smooth boulder (which was probably a gift from Gaea) the same size and shape as a newborn (given to her by Gaea) to deceive Kronos, by wrapping it up in swaddling clothes, and pretending that it was her final child. Rhea gave her newborn son to the nine nymphs that attended his birth (including Hagno), and returned to Mount Orthys. On Crete, in a cave at the base of Mount Ida, Rhea gave birth to her sixth and final child. Claiming that Koios, her clairvoyant brother had advised her to do so, Rhea successfully departed for Crete without any question from Kronos. A distraught Rhea soon heard the voice of Gaea, advising her to give birth to her final child (who would save his other siblings) on the island of Crete. As a result, Kronos became known as "King Cannibal." Rhea pleaded with Kronos to spare their children, but with no success, since even Kronos' great love for Rhea was not enough to overpower his selfish and evil nature. Hence, determined to retain his place as king, Kronos consecutively swallowed Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon as soon as they were born in the fear of being overthrown. All of Zeus's elder siblings had been earlier devoured by Kronos, who was terrified that one of his children (who were gods, a more powerful race of immortals than the Titans) would ultimately overpower him as predicted by his father Ouranos/Uranus before Kronos cut him into pieces. Zeus was the youngest child of Kronos, the Titan King of Mount Othrys, and his sister-wife Rhea. 13.1 Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.1.5 Becoming the King of the Olympian Gods.1.3 Rescuing the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires.
