Zeus has some control over hydrokinesis, being god of storms and rain, but he is nowhere near Poseidon in that. So, Zeus is still the strongest. in the Illiad he tells the other gods that if they tied a rope to him and tried to pull him from his throne, they would fail, but that he could pull them all, and he was met with no objection. Also, the heavens have dominion over the seas and earth, because no matter whete you are on land you are in Zeus' domain. Also, Zeus did defeat Poseidon before, along with Apollo and Hera and stripped him of his powers to work as a servant for Troy. That alone puts him above Poseidon in power.

Zeus, Apollo, and Hera defeated Poseidon...if Zeus was so powerful why would he need Apollo and Hera? Sry if i confused you. That line can be taken differently. I meant Zeus defeated the three of them. Also, there are many times in myth that Zeus' power is stressed. When Zeus sent Iris to tell Poseidon to leave the Teojan battlefield, he went on a rant about how they divided the world and left the earth a,ongst the three of them. When Iris asked did he really want her to tell Zeus this, he submitted and returned to the sea. Also, Zeus was the one who divided powers amongst the other gods and could take away their powers, as he did to Poseidon and Apollo.
