No, Zeus did not eat his children. Zeus' father, Cronus ate all of his children except for Zeus.
Hades and his siblings were the children of Cronus and Rheia. Since Cronus heard that his children would destroy him, he ate them after Rheia gave birth to them. When Zeus was born, Rheia gave Cronus a rock to eat, and he threw up the children he had already consumed. One of these upchucked children was Hades.

According to the myth Cronus did eat 5 of his children (all except Zeus ) and he swallowed them. (Edit, continuing) Then, Zeus lent Cronus a potion and made him drink it. Cronus threw up and the 5 of them came out. Then, a great war started between the Olympians and the Titans.
Yes, because he didn't want his children to overpower him
Hera is the goddess of marriage, family, and is the Queen of the gods (Olympian). Her parents, Cronus and Rhea (Titans) had five other children, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, and Hestia (Olympians). Cronus god a prophecy that said one of his children would overthrow him. So he ate five of his children, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, and Hestia. Zeus had not been born yet, and his mother Rhea did not want Cronus to eat him, so she tricked Cronus into eating a rock wrapped in a blanket that he thought was baby Zeus. When he was born, Rhea hid baby Zeus, and when he grew up, he tricked his father into throwing up his siblings by serving him poisoned wine. The other five children were immortal gods, so they had been growing up unharmed in Cronus stomach. His children waged war on him and the other Titans. The Titans lost, and his children became the new gods, the Olympians. Zeus married Hera, making them the King and Queen of the gods. That is how Hera, and the other Olympians, rose to power.
He regurgitated it along with his five children. It is supposedly at the ruins of a temple dedicated to Zeus in Greece.
The reason why Zues's dad, Cronus, ate his children was because the proficie said he would be defeated by one child of his.
Poseidon is the son of Cronus and Rhea. Who are children of Gaia.
Cronus is the father of Zeus. Cronus swallowed his own children. But Rhea saved Zeus and hid him from Cronus so he wouldn't swallow him. Rhea gave cronus a rock wrapped in cloth instead of Zeus so Cronus swallowed the rock.
