[You know what these trees sound great after Zeus existing.]
It's slightly sordid, you'll find. The father of most of the gods had no desire for children, out of fear of being overthrown. As a result, when his wife bore him a child, he ate said child whole.
The process repeated itself until Zeus was born, and his mother hid him away. She gave Cronos a rock instead, and fooled him. Later on, Zeus then came in, was able to rescue his siblings, and murdered his father.
There was then a war between the other Titans and the new gods. Upon their loss, the Titans were then sealed away under the earth.
