God that was impersonated by a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes?
Prior to the age of The Age of The Gods, in Greek mythology, the universe was ruled by the Titan Cronus, who had come to be ruler by killing his father Oranos. However, Cronus became aware of a prophecy which foretold that he himself would be slain by his own child, as proper retribution for the murder he committed on his father. To prevent this from coming to fruition, anytime Cronus' wife, Rhea, would give birth, Cronus would immediately swallow the child to prevent it from fulfilling the prophecy. Rhea's sixth child, Zeus, survived this fate when Rhea wrapped a rock in swaddling clothes and gave it to Cronus, who immediately swallowed it, believing it to be his newborn child. Zeus would be raised in secret and ultimately killed his father in a war which would see him become the new ruler of the universe.
