How did kronos and the titans lose power?

Zeus, along with his siblings Poseidon and Hades, were secretly saved by their mother, Rhea. They were raised in hiding until they were grown and strong enough to challenge Kronos.

Zeus led the charge against Kronos and the Titans in a great war known as the Titanomachy. The battle was fierce and lasted for ten years, with both sides suffering heavy losses. In the end, Zeus and his siblings emerged victorious, and Kronos and the Titans were overthrown.

Zeus and his siblings then divided the cosmos among themselves, with Zeus ruling over the heavens, Poseidon over the sea, and Hades over the underworld. The Titans were banished to Tartarus, a deep and dark abyss beneath the earth, where they remained imprisoned for eternity.

The victory of Zeus and the Olympians over the Titans marked the beginning of a new era in Greek mythology, known as the Age of the Olympians. This period was characterized by peace and prosperity, as the Olympians ruled over the world and watched over the affairs of mortals.
