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.
