Zeus was one of the most beloved gods of Greek time, and why not, as he is credited with the creation of all mankind. Before Zeus, there were no humans, leaving the gods with nothing to do but squabble with one another. With the invention of mankind, the gods now had a greater purpose: they would serve mankind, in return for their undulating prayers and offerings. For the Olympian gods who would follow the Titans, being worshiped and revered added meaning to their lives, and being scorned was cause for punishment.
Much like his father before him, Zeus came to the rescue of his brethren gods, saving them from his father after he had swallowed them. It was this valiant effort that made Zeus the uncontested king of all gods, and in this act he rose above his father to achieve ranking status over the whole pantheon that would come.
