Kronus (Kronos, Cronus) was the personification of the heavens and his wife was Rhea. He was also a titan, and the father of Zeus and Hera. He is often confused with Khronos (Chronus), the personification of time.

First of all, Cronus is not a god. He is a Titan.

Here is the story about how Cronus was defeated by his children.

Before the gods ruled in Greek mythology, there were titans, and the king of the titans was Cronus. One day he received a prophecy that one of his sons would be even more powerful than he was. So, when his wife Rhea gave birth, he ate the children one by one. However, when Rhea gave birth to her sixth and final child, which she named Zeus, she hid him and a nymph took care of him. When Cronus asked where the baby was, Rhea tricked him into eating a rock instead.

Many years later, when Zeus was older, he tricked his father into eating this vile of food (I think. I'm not so sure on the vile part but the other are really from Greek myths) and Cronus threw up the children which grew up in his stomach (because they were born immortal and therefore grew). Later, Zeus stole Cronus's scyth, slashed him into many tiny pieces and threw him into Tartarus (that's the worst part of the Underworld, an endless, dark abyss).
