What 6 were eaten by cronus?

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.

Kronos had heard a prophecy that one day his own child would overthrow him, so he swallowed all his children as soon as they were born. When the sixth child, Zeus, was born, his mother Rhea wrapped a stone in swaddling blankets and, pretending it was Zeus, she gave it to Kronos. He swallowed it. Zeus grew up and when he was old enough he disguised himself as one of Cronus' servants. Once Cronus asked Zeus for a drink. He mixed some kind of poison in it and Cronus coughed up Zeus' siblings.
