The story opens with Rhea giving her son, Zeus, to an enchanted she-goat on the isle of Crete. Rhea tells that she fears  Zeus’ father Cronus will harm the baby boy.  On the isle Zeus has a happy childhood but when he questions why he has no playmates, he learns that Cronus, fearing he might be overthrown by one of his own children,  did away with all his siblings. His mother, Rhea, gives Zeus a stinky potion to use whenever he catches up with his father.  Eventually he finds Cronus sleeping and pours the potion into his open mouth. And while doing this Zeus sings, ” One, two, three, four, five,You swallowed my brothers and sisters alive.  Now drink this stuff — set them free! For I am ZEUS , you didn’t eat me!”  Zeus organizes everything and everyone. Thus he becomes ruler of heaven and earth.

It is a bit simplified, yes, but the story is there.  The artwork is splendid  and reinforces the irreverence beautifully.
