Cronus killed his father, Uranus, because he sought to overthrow him and seize power. Uranus had imprisoned Cronus's siblings, the Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires, in Tartarus, leading Cronus to resent him. With the encouragement of his mother, Gaia, Cronus ambushed Uranus with a sickle and castrated him, thus fulfilling his desire for power and control over the universe. This act set off a chain of events that would lead to Cronus's own downfall.

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.
