Kronos, who was a Titan, had three sons; Poseidon, Zeus and Hades. These brothers were the next generation, the Gods.

As all of Kronos' children were born, he swallowed them. His last son, Zeus, was hidden by his mother. Instead, she gave him a stone wrapped in clothes.

Once Zeus became old enough, he challenged Kronos and made him vomit up his siblings, including Poseidon and Hades, and defeated him by slicing him into hundreds of pieces with his own scythe, a long, curved sword-like weapon. Zeus then threw Kronos' remains into a box and threw the box into Tartarus.

Then, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades took over the world; Zeus, being the most powerful, ruled the sky, Poseidon ruled the waters, and Hades ruled the Underworld, a dark place where all souls go... good and bad. In fact, included in the Underworld is Tartarus, where Kronos' remains lie burning.

Who Was kronos and what happened to him after the gods defeated him?

You'll see Kronos (or Chronos) every New Year's Eve; he's "Father Time" appearing as the Old Year. In Greek Mythology, he was the father of Zeus and his planet - Saturn - is the next out from Zeus's - Jupiter. Kronos's son Zeus imprisoned him and took his place as king. Since we might suppose that this outcome was favorable to Zeus/Jupiter and an unhappy event for Kronos/Saturn, we use the adjectives "jovial" to describe a cheerful disposition and "saturnine" to denote a glum one.
