エピメニデスの断片によると、ニンフのヘリケとキノスーラは幼いゼウスの養母であったという。クロノスはゼウスを捜すためにクレタ島へ行き、ゼウスは自分の存在を隠すために、自分を蛇に、二人の看護婦を熊に変身させた。エピメニデスの断片によると、ニンフのヘリケとキノスーラは幼いゼウスの養母であったという。クロノスはゼウスを捜すためにクレタ島へ行き、ゼウスは自分の存在を隠すために、自分を蛇に、二人の看護婦を熊に変身させた<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA75 p. 75–6]; Gantz, p. 42; Epimenides [https://archive.org/details/diefragmenteder02diel/page/192/mode/2up?view=theater fr. 23 Diels, p. 193] [= Scholia on Aratus, 46].

ガイウス・ユリウス・ヒュギーヌスは『神話集』の中で、クロノスがポセイドーンを海に、ハーデースを冥界に投げ捨てたが、飲み込むことはしなかったという説を紹介している。ゼウスが生まれると、ヘーラー（これも飲み込んでいない）はレーアーに幼いゼウスを渡してくれるよう頼み、レーアーはクロノスに石を渡して飲み込ませる<ref>Gantz, p. 42; Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' [https://topostext.org/work/206#139 139].</ref>。ヘーラーは彼をアマルティアに渡し、アマルティアは彼のゆりかごを木に吊るすが、そこには彼は天にも地にも海にもいない。つまり、後にクロノスがゼウスを探しに行っても、彼を見つけることはできないのである<ref>Gantz, p. 42; Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA75 p. 75]; Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' [https://topostext.org/work/206#139 139].</ref><ref group="私注">「木に吊す」とはエススやオーディンに対する生贄を彷彿とさせる。</ref>。ヒュギーヌスはまた、通常オケアヌスの子とされるイーダー、アルテア、アドラステイアを、メリセウスの娘、ゼウスの看護婦と呼ぶこともあると述べている<ref>Smith and Trzaskoma, [https://books.google.com/books?id=vczTNMWLGdoC&pg=PA191 p. 191 on line 182]; West 1983, p. 133 n. 40; Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' 182 (Smith and Trzaskoma, [https://books.google.com/books?id=vczTNMWLGdoC&pg=PA158 p. 158]).</ref>。
According to a fragment of Epimenides, the nymphs Helike and Kynosura are the young Zeus's nurses. Cronus travels to Crete to look for Zeus, who, to conceal his presence, transforms himself into a snake and his two nurses into bears.<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA75 p. 75–6]; Gantz, p. 42; [[Epimenides]] [https://archive.org/details/diefragmenteder02diel/page/192/mode/2up?view=theater fr. 23 Diels, p. 193] [= Scholia on [[Aratus]], 46]. Zeus later marks the event by placing the constellations of the Dragon, the Greater Bear and the Lesser Bear in the sky.</ref> According to [[Musaeus of Athens|Musaeus]], after Zeus is born, Rhea gives him to [[Themis]]. Themis in turn gives him to Amalthea, who owns a she-goat, which nurses the young Zeus.<ref>Gantz, p. 41; Gee, [https://books.google.com/books?id=NPsh5CsJprYC&pg=PA131 p. 131–2]; Frazer, [https://books.google.com/books?id=n6uUBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA120 p. 120]; [[Musaeus of Athens|Musaeus]] [https://archive.org/details/diefragmenteder02diel/page/180/mode/2up?view=theater fr. 8 Diels, pp. 181–2] [= [[Eratosthenes]], ''[[Catasterismi]]'' 13 (Hard 2015, [https://books.google.com/books?id=7IMSBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA44 p. 44]; Olivieri, [https://archive.org/details/mythographigrae00olivgoog/page/n39/mode/2up?view=theater p. 17])]; [[Musaeus of Athens|Musaeus]] ''apud'' [[Hyginus]], ''[[De Astronomica]]'' [https://topostext.org/work/207#2.13.6 2.13.6]. According to Eratosthenes, Musaeus considers the she-goat to be a child of [[Helios]], and to be "so terrifying to behold" that the gods ask for it to be hidden in one of the caves in Crete; hence Earth places it in the care of Amalthea, who nurses Zeus on its milk.</ref>
[[Antoninus Liberalis]], in his ''Metamorphoses'', says that Rhea gives birth to Zeus in a sacred cave in Crete, full of sacred bees, which become the nurses of the infant. While the cave is considered forbidden ground for both mortals and gods, a group of thieves seek to steal honey from it. Upon laying eyes on the swaddling clothes of Zeus, their bronze armour "split[s] away from their bodies", and Zeus would have killed them had it not been for the intervention of the [[Moirai]] and [[Themis]]; he instead transforms them into various species of birds.<ref>Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA75 p. 75]; [[Antoninus Liberalis]], [https://topostext.org/work/216#19 19].</ref>
