None. You are thinking of his father, Cronus, who swallowed five of his six children (Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades and Poseidon), fearing they would overthrow him (as he had done with his own father, Uranus), following a prophecy given to him by his father and his mother Gaia. Zeus, his first born, was saved by his mother, Rhea, by passing Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling which he swallowed thinking it was his son. Zeus subsequently went on to overthrow Cronus, just as he had feared.
