Zeus was suckled by a goat, Amalthea, and he was looked after by two Nymphs. Their companions danced and made a noise to keep the baby's crying from Cronus' ears. At last, when Zeus was grown, he forced his father to disgorge all his brothers, together with the big stone. There followed a long war between Cronus, helped by some Titans, against Zeus, helped by Poseidon, Hades, the Cyclops, and three Giants. Zeus won, and his brothers accepted his authority.
