I know this sounds unrealistic but, he swallowed them! The feared that one of his children would grow up to overthrow him so he swallowed them!
Cronus ate all of his children for fear that one of them would over throw him for power one day, as predicted by his mother Gaea. This was payback for what Cronus did to his own father Uraneus. Cronus wife Rhea got tired of having her kids eaten. So she tricked Cronus from eating the last child (Zeus) and fed him a rock instead.
because cronus killed his father to become ruler. He was afraid one of his kids might do the same and try to kill him, which was the case. Zeus later killed Cronus and became ruler of mount olympus.
As soon as they were born.
There was a prophecy that one of them would overthrow him.
Cronus
Cronus was married to Rhea(earth) and had 6 children. For sons he had Zeus, Posiedon, and Hades. For daughters he had Hera, Demeter, and Hestia.
He married his own sister Rhea.
stick his finger down his throat. gross i know.
Cronus is the father of Zeus. Cronus swallowed his own children. But Rhea saved Zeus and hid him from Cronus so he wouldn't swallow him. Rhea gave cronus a rock wrapped in cloth instead of Zeus so Cronus swallowed the rock.
Yes he did but Rhea saved Zeus and Nymphs kept him until he was old enough to be Cronus servant slipped Cronus a potion to cough up his siblings. After they all got coughed up they had a war
Cronus was not a god at all, He was the king of the titans and ruler of the world in Greek mythology before Zeus (his own son) overthrew him.
They fought their own father Cronus and the Titans
