Cronus (zeus father) ate all his children as prometheus; a titan who could tell the future told him that one of his children would over-throw him.But when Cronus came to eat zeus Rhea (zeus' mother) hide him and instead gave Cronus a rock wrapped in cloth. Cronus ate the rock thinking it was baby zeus.Mean while, Rhea asked Gaia (mother earth) to hide zeus, so he was hidden on the island of crete and was nursed and breast feed off a goat-nympth, called Amalthea.The korybantes were the guardians of zeus, they were were the armed and crested dancers who worshipped the Phrygian goddess Cybele with drumming and dancing, theyre also known to have banged theyre shields togheter to cover up the sound of Zeus' crying.
When zeus was fully grown, he made a special drink and told Rhea to serve to in Cronus' drink, so she did and this made Cronus throw up the offspring he had eaten; Hestia, Hades, Hera, Poseidon and Demeter, and even the rock Rhea had served him, it is beleive that Cronus spat it out and it dropped to earth and became the Agia dynati.
Zeus then released the brothers of Cronus, the Gigantes, the Hecatonchires and the Cyclopes, from their dungeon in Tartarus, killing their guard, Campe.
As a token of their appreciation, the Cyclopes gave him thunder and the thunderbolt, or lightning, which had previously been hidden by Gaia. Together, Zeus and his brothers and sisters, along with the Gigantes, Hecatonchires and Cyclopes overthrew Cronus and the other Titans, in the combat called the Titanomachy. The defeated Titans were then cast into a shadowy underworld region known as Tartarus. Atlas, one of the titans that fought against Zeus, was punished by having to hold up the sky.
After the battle with the Titans, Zeus shared the world with his elder brothers, Poseidon and Hades, by drawing lots: Zeus got the sky and air, Poseidon the waters, and Hades the world of the dead and the underworld. (The ancient Earth, Gaia, could not be claimed; she was left to all three, each according to their capabilities, which explains why Poseidon was the "earth-shaker" (the god of earthquakes) and Hades claimed the humans that died.)
This is the story of how zeus came to power.

What is the story of the Roman deity Jupiter?
Jupiter is the equivalent of Zeus, of the Greek myths. So, if you were looking for a specific "story" of Zeus, I would say the story of his birth and rising up to kill his tyrant father, Cronus, called Saturn in Roman myth, is his "story". Zeus, or Jupiter, is the leader of the Olympic gods in Greek myth, and likewise in Roman myth.
