Why did cronus swallow his children? Let ME explain this better. Cronus was told that the next son he would have would kill him and rule the gods. So, cronus ate his 5 children. But his wife hid the last child and gave cronus a rock instead of Zues and when he was old enough he had metis create a potion that would make cronus spit up the children he had swallowed.

Who told Cronus that one of his children was going to overthrown him?
Cronus learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own son, just as he had overthrown his father. As a result, although he sired the gods Demeter, Hera, Hades, Hestia, and Poseidon by Rhea, he devoured them all as soon as they were born to preempt the prophecy. When the sixth child, Zeus, was born Rhea sought Gaia to devise a plan to save them and to eventually get retribution on Cronus for his acts against his father and children. Rhea secretly gave birth to Zeus in Crete, and handed Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, also known as the Omphalos Stone, which he promptly devoured, thinking that it was his son. Once he had grown up, Zeus used a poison given to him by Gaia to force Cronus to disgorge the contents of his stomach in reverse order. After freeing his siblings, Zeus released the Gigantes, the Hecatonchires, and the Cyclopes, who forged for him his thunderbolts. In a vast war called the Titanomachy, Zeus and his brothers and sisters, with the help of the Gigantes, Hecatonchires, and Cyclopes, overthrew Cronus and the other Titans. Afterwards, many of the Titans were confined in Tartarus and the rest were punished.
How did Uranus lose his power?
Gaia told Cronus to cut off the genitals of Uranus. ^ This answer bugged me since it is so vague. You probably know that Uranus cast his children into the Tartarus. The Tartarus is in the deepest bowels of the Earth(Gaea/Gaia; doesn't matter which way you spell it). This caused Gaea, Uranus' wife an incredible amount of pain. In an effort to soothe the unending pain, she requested one of her children to castrate Uranus. Cronus accepted the task, and his mother gave him an adamantine sickle to cut of Uranus' genitals. That is how Cronus overthrew his father, Uranus.

Why does Cronus rebel against Uranus?
Khronos/Chronos/Cronos/Cronus/Kronos rebellied against his father Uranus not because he wanted the power, but to prove to his mother that he DESERVED the power.
