Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today’s video, we’re going to discuss the three sons of Zeus who, had they reached adulthood and grown into the full potential of their power, would have become more powerful than their father, who would have succeeded Zeus, either claiming the crown by force or ascending to the throne with their father’s blessing. And interestingly, as we’ll explore momentarily, it actually seems as if prophecy - reality itself, even, looked at one way - contrived to keep Zeus enthroned, ensconced up high in lofty Olympus. First, we’re going to go over how the fortune of fate stacked the deck in Zeus’s favor, and then we’re going to go over the three children who would have been more powerful than him.

Alright, Let’s get into it.
