she fed him a rock instead of Zeus
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.
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.
Yes they did, because Cronus ate all the children that he and Rhea had so Rhea took Zeus and hid him. Finally when Zeus became older he tricked Cronus to cough the rest of the children up. Then the gods fought against the titans and the Gods won
Demeter was a daughter of Cronus and Rhea. She was swallowed by Cronus and later vomited up because Zeus tricked Cronus into eating vomitus.
It was actually the Titan Cronus who freed his brothers and sisters from captivity. His wife, Rhea, gave birth and Cronus swallowed all of the children because he was afraid to be overthrown. Rhea hid her last child, Zeus, and his wife Metis tricked Cronus into vomiting up his other children, so in a way, Zeus did save his siblings.

After Hades was born, his father Cronus swallowed him; after Zeus grew up he and Metis tricked his father into spitting up Hades and the rest of Cronus's children by Rhea - Demeter, Hestia, Hera, and Poseidon.
They were the King and Queen of the TitansThe mother (Rhea) and father (Cronus) of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. He ate Poseidon and Hades, but Rhea saved Zeus with help from Gaia (god of earth, mother of Cronus and Rhea) and Zeus came back and cut open Cronus. The he took his brothers out of his stomach, threw Cronus into the pit of Tartarus, and established Mt. Olympus.
Yes, and no. The Titans Cronus and Rhea had six children, while Hades was born first he was quickly digested by his father, as well as the four children after him, finally child number six (Zeus) was born and Rhea tricked Cronus into thinking he had swallowed him too. This was not the case, Zeus was in fact the only child to grow to maturity outside of Cronus's body, which eventually allowed him to fight Cronus and free his siblings. So in summary, an appropriate statement would be "Hades was the first of the six original Olympic gods born to the Titans Cronus and Rhea."
The children of Cronus (or Kronos) and Rhea were all the 12 Olympians. If you have read the books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the children of the Titans Cronus and Rhea are the gods who have thrones on Mount Olympus, including Hades, even though he doesn't have a throne.
Poseidon is the son of Cronus and Rhea. Who are children of Gaia.
Because there was a phophsey, that Cronus' children would overthrow him as ruler of the universe, so Cronus' plan was to swallow every child Rhea had (Hera, Demeter, Hestia Poseidon, and Hades)but Zeus was saved by his mother, the youngest - for who Rhea fooled Cronus by bundling a rock. Zeus was sent to an island for safety, but he went back to make his father, Cronus, regurgitate all his siblings. In conclusion, Zeus was important because he saved all his siblings.
