actually Zeus did fight when he was young. Zeus is the son of another god that he deposed. his own father. he either killed him or threw him into this pit in the earth or something like that. it's one of the less talked about parts of the myths. but I remember watching a documentary on history channel about greek myths and they covered it. I think it was Saturn. yea, Saturn is his dad I think. and he ends up battling him and then taking over.

Kronos is his dad in Greek mythology, while Saturn is Jupiter's dad in Roman mythology.

And Zeus castrated him

You're mixing Greek w/ Roman names.

It was Cronos, not Saturn.

And yeah, he fought in that war. Though what fighting he did beyond lobbing lightning bolts i don't know. The Cyclopes and Hundred-Handed Ones probably did most of the work for Zeus's side, really.

You're pretty generous with your political ignorance.

Kronos is his dad in Greek mythology, while Saturn is Jupiter's dad in Roman mythology.

And Zeus castrated him

No. Cronus/Saturn castrated Ouranos/Uranus with a scythe, and the severed dick fell into the ocean. Aphrodite basically came into being rising out of the bloody sea foam, while the Furies and giants came from where the blood fell on land.

Cronus/Saturn was the one who ate all of his children when they were born to prevent one of them from overthrowing him like he overthrew his own father, but his wife Rhea got pissed and fed him a rock in place of Zeus/Jupiter, who then grew up, turned into a badass, and beat the shit out of his dad and freed all of his siblings (who were still alive inside his stomach because they're gods).

Depending on the story, Cronus was either just flat-out killed, or he was banished to the netherworld and locked away in Tartarus with the other imprisoned Titans who sided with him against Zeus and the Olympians who replaced them.

Also, in some versions of the story Cronus prophesizes that Zeus will eventually give birth to a son that will overthrow him the same way he overthrew his father, and his father overthrew his father, which is why Zeus eventually swallowed Metis when she was pregnant with his child - which led to Athena manifesting as a god and her busting out of his body.

No.

Some stories/texts say that Zeus castrated Kronos,just like Kronos castrated his father.

I love how many gods spontaneously came to existence, often directly out of a random injured body part.

Imagine human reproduction like that. "Yeah, he kicked me in the balls, and that's where my daughter Chastity was born."
