Best Answer

Cronus, Zeus' father had learned that one of his children would eventually overcome him, just as he had done to his own father. As such, whenever Zeus' mother, Rhea, gave birth he would swallow the child. She hid Zeus to protect him from the fate his five elder siblings (Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon) had suffered and so that Cronus would receive his punishment for what had been done to them.
