He ate them all because he thought one of them would kill him Zeus wasn't born yet.  So his mother hid him when he was born.  He had  guards and every time Zeus cried the would have to bang on there shields so Cronus wouldn't hear him.
When Zeus got older his mom Rhea told him every thing bad that his father did she told him how he ate Zeus's brothers and sisters.  So when he grew up his mom came to him and told him a way to kill his father.  Cronus was having a celebration so Zeus made himself look like one of Cronus's servants and he poising his father's wine.  Cronus drank it and vomited Zeus's siblings.  They got away and went to Mount Olympus.
  The Titans declared war.  They fought for a long time and no won was winning so Rhea came to Zeus and told him a way to win the war.  Zeus had to go get his oldest brothers The one hundred hand ones and the cyclops from Tarteus the dungeon that Cronus had thrown them into.
