Lore: Is Zeus dead?

So while talking to Big Blue Prometheus, I noticed something he said in his exposition.

When a powerful being dies permanently, its power is transferred to the Well, but future beings may draw on that specific power to become an Incarnate of [being]. Statesman is the Incarnate of Zeus. There's only one way that can be possible if what Prometheus says is true.

Zeus is dead.

When did that happen and who is powerful enough to take out Zeus? It makes sense, really, because there's no way Prometheus would be standing where he is if Zeus was still around. Those two didn't get along. At all. Did Prometheus have a hand in that, or am I just not up to date on my Greek mythology? Does Greek mythology have a doomsday story?

Actually, Prometheus could be free with Zeus still alive since Heracles was a lot nicer than his old man, and from what I read up a bit, Zeus and Prometheus did eventually reconcile, but it ultimately depends on the myth, I believe. I'm found of the version presented in Prometheus Bound.
