There was a prophecy that one of them would overthrow him.
Quite possibly, as Cronus the father of Poseidon swallowed him shortly after birth.
Cronus ate all of his children for fear that one of them would over throw him for power one day, as predicted by his mother Gaea. This was payback for what Cronus did to his own father Uraneus. Cronus wife Rhea got tired of having her kids eaten. So she tricked Cronus from eating the last child (Zeus) and fed him a rock instead.
because cronus killed his father to become ruler. He was afraid one of his kids might do the same and try to kill him, which was the case. Zeus later killed Cronus and became ruler of mount olympus.
As soon as they were born.
Cronus was married to Rhea(earth) and had 6 children. For sons he had Zeus, Posiedon, and Hades. For daughters he had Hera, Demeter, and Hestia.
