a rock
Well, my friend, in Greek mythology, Zeus's mother, Rhea, saved him from Cronos by tricking him. She gave Cronos a stone wrapped in a blanket to swallow instead of baby Zeus. This clever plan allowed Zeus to grow up safely and eventually overthrow Cronos to become the king of the gods. Just like Rhea, sometimes we have to be resourceful and think outside the box to protect the ones we love.
Rhea, titan of flow. She hid baby Zeus from his father Cronos after he swallowed the rest of his older siblings. Rhea gave him to a foster-mother which happened to be a goat named Almathea until he grew strong enough to over throw Cronos. Later, he ends up sacrifices Almathea. (Some Thank you...)
After he had killed his father, he became ruler and had six children with Rhea. Later he was informed that one of his kids would overthrow him like he did to his father. So to prevent it, he ate five of his children when Rhea was still pregnant with the last child Zeus. So she Feed him a stone instead of the baby and she sent Zeus off to be raised my a magical family.
Kronos (or Cronus) was the titan of time. From his name you can get words like 'chronological'. He killed his father and heard a prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him. To prevent this he ate all of his children except Zeus . Zeus was saved by his mother who gave Kronos a rock to eat instead. When Zeus was older he gave his father a mixture of mustard and wine and Kronos threw up his children who had been growing up within him. Being gods they were imortal so they continued to live inside him without getting digested. Then they had a war and the children won and took their place as the 12 Olympians. The Big Three, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, chopped up Kronos with a scimitar and put him in the Pit of Tartarous in the under world and the Big Three got the underworld, sky, and sea. The gods do not know who will ruled the sky sea or hell. Zeus decided to pick a stick the one who pick the long stick rule sky, the middle stick ruled sea, and the smaller stick rule hell. Of course Zeus got the long stick, Poseidon got the middle stick and Hades got the smallest stick.
Zeus was aided in three ways, Rhea giving Cronus the stone swaddled in wrappings rather then Zeus - Gaea, who hid the baby boy god in Crete, then agian by Metis (mother of Athena) who functioned as the counsellor of Zeus during the Titan War: she gave to Cronos a vomitive, whereupon he brought back his children whom he had devoured. Metis was by prophesy to give birth to a girl and then a boy, this boy would rule the universe: Zeus swalllowed her to prevent this but could not prevent the birth of Athena.

His father was Cronos, who swallowed Zeus's older brothers and sisters.His mother, Rhea, gave Cronos a stone wrapped in baby clothes, instead. She gave baby Zeus to some nymphs to care for.Later Zeus killed Cronos and became Supreme Lord of The Skies.
When Rhea had Zeus she realized that she could not let Cronus swallow him too. She went to her mother Gaea who gave her a plan. She would rap a rock in swaddling clothes instead of Zeus that way when she presented baby Zeus to her husband Cronus he would swallow the rock instead of Zeus. Rhea gave Zeus to her mother Gaea who raised him.
wrapping a stone in swaddling clothes instead of the baby Zeus, which Cronus then swallowed thinking it was his son. This allowed Zeus to be hidden and eventually grow up to overthrow Cronus and become the king of the gods.
The prophecy was that one of Cronos' children would one day over throw him. So as soon as each of his children were born, Cronos ate them. being gods and goddesses they couldn't die and just grew and developed inside Cronos. Cronos' wife (and also sister) Rhea became irritated with Cronos eating her children, so she devised a plan. She was expecting another child, which she felt sure would be a boy. So when he was born she hid him in a dark part of the world where she was sure Cronos did not know about. Then, she went back home for the next part of her plan. She wrapped a rock in blankets, and hugged it to her chest pretending to breast feed it, all the while singing a lullaby. Next, who else but Cronos comes walking in snatches the rock/baby from her and swallows it. Rhea then retrieved her baby, which she had named Zeus, from his hiding place and gave him to a farmer and his wife to raise and keep safe. She promised their livestock such as their cows and sheep would not be eaten by wolves. Years later Rhea grieved, wanting her son back. She then brought him home, introducing him as the new wine bearer. Cronos thought the boy was beautiful so he thought it okay. Zeus and his mother later devised a plan to rid his siblings from the inside of Cronos. Zeus gave Cronos a drink mixture that cause Cronos to have stomach pains. Cronos complaining of his stomach hurting finally threw up. First came the rock then all of Zeus' siblings. Zeus then overthrew Cronos in a war with the help of his cousins, the cyclops and the hundred-hand ones who Cronos had locked up in a mountain years before. Zeus the became the king of the gods. He also married his sister Hera (I guess it runs in the family).
Rhea fooled Cronus by giving him a stone wrapped in blankets instead of baby Zeus to swallow. This deception allowed Zeus to be raised in secret, eventually leading to him overthrowing Cronus and becoming king of the gods.

Rhea saved Zeus from being eaten by his father Kronos by tricking him into swallowing a rock instead of the baby. She then hid Zeus in a cave on Mount Ida where he was raised in secret until he was strong enough to challenge Kronos.

He ate Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera. Zeus was spared because his mother, Rhea, fed Kronos a rock disguised as a baby instead of Zeus himself.
