アポロドロスも同様の説明をしており、ゼウスが大人になったとき、オセアニア人のメーティスの助けを借りて、クロノスに嘔吐物を与え、石とゼウスの5人の兄弟を吐き出させたと述べている<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA69 p. 69]; Gantz, p. 44; Apollodorus, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.2.1 1.2.1].</ref>。その後、ゼウスはティターンと10年戦争を続けるが、ガイアの予言により、キュクロプスとへカントケイルをタルタロスから解放し、まず彼らの監視役であるカンペを殺害した<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA69 p. 69]; Apollodorus, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.2.1 1.2.1].</ref>。キュクロプスは雷鳴を、ポセイドーンは三叉の矛を、ハーデースは透明な兜をゼウスに与え、ティターンを倒し、へカントケイルを護衛につけた<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA69 p. 69]; Apollodorus, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.2.1 1.2.1].</ref>。『イーリアス』によると、ティターンとの戦いの後、ゼウスは兄弟のポセイドーンとハーデースにくじ引きで世界を分け与える。ゼウスは空を、ポセイドーンは海を、ハーデースは冥界を手に入れ、大地とオリンポスは共通の土地となった<ref>Gantz, p. 48; Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA76 p. 76]; ''Brill's New Pauly'', [https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/brill-s-new-pauly/zeus-e12216820 s.v.

Upon assuming his place as king of the cosmos, Zeus' rule is quickly challenged. The first of these challenges to his power comes from the [[Giants (Greek mythology)|Giants]], who fight the Olympian gods in a battle known as the Gigantomachy. According to Hesiod, the Giants are the offspring of Gaia, born from the drops of blood that fell on the ground when Cronus castrated his father Uranus;<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA86 p. 86]; [[Hesiod]], ''[[Theogony]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0020.tlg001.perseus-eng1:173-206 183&ndash;7].</ref> there is, however, no mention of a battle between the gods and the Giants in the ''Theogony''.<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA86 p. 86]; Gantz, p. 446.</ref> It is Apollodorus who provides the most complete account of the Gigantomachy. He says that Gaia, out of anger at how Zeus had imprisoned her children, the Titans, bore the Giants to Uranus.<ref>Gantz, p. 449; Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA90 p. 90]; [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.6.1 1.6.1].</ref> There comes to the gods a prophecy that the Giants cannot be defeated by the gods on their own, but can be defeated only with the help of a mortal; Gaia, upon hearing of this, seeks a special ''pharmakon'' (herb) that will prevent the Giants from being killed. Zeus, however, orders [[Eos]] (Dawn), [[Selene]] (Moon) and [[Helios]] (Sun) to stop shining, and harvests all of the herb himself, before having [[Athena]] summon [[Heracles]].<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA89 p. 89]; Gantz, p. 449; [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.6.1 1.6.1].</ref> In the conflict, [[Porphyrion]], one of the most powerful of the Giants, launches an attack upon Heracles and Hera; Zeus, however, causes Porphyrion to become lustful for Hera, and when he is just about to violate her, Zeus strikes him with his thunderbolt, before Heracles deals the fatal blow with an arrow.<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA89 p. 89]; Gantz, p. 449; Salowey, p. 236; [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.6.2 1.6.2]. Compare with [[Pindar]], ''Pythian'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0033.tlg002.perseus-eng1:8 8.12&ndash;8], who instead says that Porphyrion is killed by an arrow from [[Apollo]].</ref>
