So, to answer your question (if He was prophetic, why did He fight Zeus), if the Titans are philosophical concepts, than Coeus may represent something like "Truth"–he is Pillar of the North, Axis of the Cosmos. He is the Cynosure, the unyeilding point around which the entire cosmos revolved. The North Star, for us.
And Zeus is the Bringer of Order to the half-assed universe Ouranos and Chronos left Him, right?
What He wants, He gets. Nothing can go against His word. He re-shapes reality.
So, the Titanomarchy is His big Re-Ordering of the universe.
When Ouranos slapped reality together, there was a certain "Truth" to it, and this was the form of Coeus. But when Zeus imposed a new paradigm, He fundamentally changed the "truth" of the Universe. This was Him confronting and defeating Coeus.
Why did He not see Zeus coming? Maybe he did, or maybe the universe can't predict the actions of the guy who can change the universe. Are there even any prophecies about Zeus? Is He out of "sight"? (but He does bow to the Fates…so…idk)
But why did he not JOIN Zeus? I have an answer for this, at least.
He couldn't.
Zeus could not accept the universe that retained Coeus in his old form.
Even if he begged to side with Zeus, the big guy wouldn't….couldn't allow it.
To build the universe so well ordered and balanced that fragile little things like humans and flowers could exist in it, Coeus had to be altered, or "defeated".
But all this is based on my theory that Zeus represents the Ordering Force of our universe (among other things) and my work on nailing this down as "likely", or even Intended (by some poets and mythographers) is not very developed yet, so don't build a religion around this angle just yet, lol
