Zeus did not end up getting swallowed by his monsterous father due to a plan by his mother. A few years later when Zeus grew up he made Cronus vomit up all his siblings. From then they helped overthrow the Titans and the King to rule the universe.

Quote
“When he had grown up, Zeus caused Cronus to vomit up his sisters and brothers, and these gods joined him in fighting to wrest control of the universe from the Titans and Cronus, their king” (Skidmore).
Explanation
