Zues was the son of Gaia god of Earth and Cronos, god of time, he would eat every child that Gaia produced for him because he had a fear that one of his sons would overthrow him. He had this fear for he killed his father with a sickle and as his father died he cursed Cronos that he would suffer the same fate as he did, and his son would kill him, just like Cronos had killed him.

Eventually Gaia hid her pregnancy and gave birth inside of a cave letting nymphs take care of Zues. When Cronos asked Gais for her son she gave him a rock instead which he ate and out came all of his sons and daughters which he had eaten. Ofcourse they were all perfectly alive and well and eventually with the help of Zues defeated ronos in the battle of the gods.
