  • He and his brothers Hades and Poseidon divided the powers between them.

Not really, because Cronus ( Kronos ) Titan Lord, devoured his children, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, but Gaia fed Kronos a rock for Zeus. Zeus lived, and eventually managed to kick Kronos so hard that he spewed up his siblings. Because Poseidon, Hades, Hestia and Demeter were Immortal, they sat undigested in Kronos' stomach. Because the Olympians would not be there if it was not for Zeus, they decided the Zeus should be king of Gods, and should own the largest lots. ( Zeus - Sky ) ( Poseidon - Water, Fresh and Salt ) ( Hades - UnderWorld ).
