Best Answer

His father had heard a prophecy that one of his children would overthrow his rule (he was king of the Titans) so he swallowed all his children when they were born. His wife Rhea got very upset by this and she hid their last child from him and gave him a rock to eat instead. Zeus grew up hiding in a cave and when he was old enough his mother told him about his brothers and sisters being eaten.Zeus was very angry and wanted revenge so he disguised himself and tricked his father into eating a potion containing mustard that made him throw up. Because his children were immortal gods, they were still growing inside him so when he threw up his children came out fully grown, and joined Zeus in the war that lead to the Titans being overthrown.
