2/6 Hesiod wrting assignment

Explain how Zeus came to power. Write about these following issues: How is he similar/different to Uranus or Cronos? Is his grip on power secure or fragile? Explain why or why not.

Zeus came to power when Gaea gave hima poisonous drink to give to his father Cronus. He first had to fight the Titans, which were with Cronus and who ever won they would become the king. At the end he did win with the help of the Hundred- Handed Giants and Cyclopes. Zeus is kind of similar to Uranus and Cronus because he also wanted to rule but he is a lot more different. He is more comprehensive and he made better choices. His grip on power is secure because he saved the Giants and Cyclopes. So they won't try to over power him.
