When Was the Greek God Zeus Born?

According to Greek mythology, Zeus was born on Mount Ida in Crete. His birth is said to have occurred in the ancient times, often dated around the time of the Titanomachy, which is the war between the Titans and the Olympians. In mythological accounts, Rhea, Zeus’s mother, gave birth to him in secret to prevent his father, Cronus, from swallowing him as he had done with his other offspring. After his birth, Zeus was raised by nymphs who nurtured him until he was strong enough to confront Cronus and rescue his siblings.
