Cronus, in Greek mythology, swallowed his six children to prevent them from overthrowing him, as he had done to his own father, Uranus. The children he consumed were Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus. However, Zeus was saved by his mother Rhea, who hid him and gave Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes instead. Eventually, Zeus grew up and forced Cronus to regurgitate his siblings, leading to the Titanomachy and the establishment of the Olympian gods.
