What year did Zeus kill Cronus?

I don't think Zeus actually killed Cronus. He gave Cronus a potion (from Metis) that forced him to regurgitate all his swallowed children and then with the help of the Olympians defeated Cronus and the Titans. But he didn't actually kill him, just overthrew him.


How did Zeus kill his father?

Zeus, god of the sky, didn't actually kill his father because his father (Cronus) was immortal, like Zeus.Instead, Zeus used his fathers own weapon to slice Cronus into a thousand pieces. Zeus then tossed all the pieces into Tartarus, the deepest crater in the underworld, and Cronus never escaped. Cronus was still alive because he was immortal, but he was harmless since his body was scattered in Tartarus.Zeus was then chosen to be king of the gods. Him and his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, chose the domains they would rule over. Zeus picked the sky, Poseidon picked the sea and Hades picked the underworld.Zeus did not kill Cronus, he and his allies fought a war and Cronus and the other Titans were driven into Tartarus.

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.


What were Zeus's fears?

Zeus was afraid of two things, the first being the only thing that could truly kill him; the fates. They could kill both mortals and gods a like, so even Zeus was subject to their wrath. The second fear of Zeus was the fear of being dethroned by one of his own children, as he had dethroned his father, Cronus, and how Cronus had dethroned Uranus.
