その後、その若君の力と輝かしい四肢はすみやかに育ち、年がめぐるうちに、狡知にたけた大いなるクロノスはガイアの深い勧めに欺かれ、自分の子の技と力に屈して、呑んだ子らをふたたび吐き出した。最後に呑んだ石を、まず吐き出した。ゼウスはそれを、道の広い大地の、パルナッソスの谷あいの麗しいピュトに据え置いた。以後、人々にとってのしるし、驚きとなるように。そして彼は、父が愚かにも縛った天の子ら、父の兄弟たちを、その死の縛めから解き放った。彼らはその恵みに報いることを忘れず、雷と、燃える雷霆と、稲妻とを彼に与えた。それまでは広大なガイアがそれらを隠していたのである。これらを頼みとして、彼は死すべき者と不死なる者とを治めている。

After that, the strength and glorious limbs of the prince increased quickly, and as the years rolled on, great Cronos the wily was beguiled by the deep suggestions of Earth, and brought up again his offspring, vanquished by the arts and might of his own son, and he vomited up first the stone which he had swallowed last. And Zeus set it fast in the wide-pathed earth at goodly Pytho under the glens of Parnassus, to be a sign thenceforth and a marvel to mortal men. And he set free from their deadly bonds the brothers of his father, sons of Heaven whom his father in his foolishness had bound. And they remembered to be grateful to him for his kindness, and gave him thunder and the glowing thunderbolt and lightening: for before that, huge Earth had hidden these. In them he trusts and rules over mortals and immortals.
