He is king of the Gods and of the Heavens. He also was the one who made Cronus the Titan regurgitate his brothers and sisters (Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter and Hera)

He is the leader of the Gods. From his mother all the greek gods were born, but as they came out their father ate them all and Zeus was able to sneak away before he was eaten and kill his father, rip open his stomach, and free his breathern. From that point the made him leader and they banished their parents to hell.
