Why did Zeus overthrow his father?
Zeus had to overthrow his father,Cronus, because Cronus would not let Mother Earth (Gaea) children escaped so Mother Earth told Zeus to overthrow Cronus.
Why did Cronus swallow Hades?
Why did cronus swallow his children? Let ME explain this better. Cronus was told that the next son he would have would kill him and rule the gods. So, cronus ate his 5 children. But his wife hid the last child and gave cronus a rock instead of Zues and when he was old enough he had metis create a potion that would make cronus spit up the children he had swallowed. After the gods/godesses were out of cronus they all fought him. The titans helped cronus. The ttans were sent to tartarus where they would be punished forever and Cronus was killed.
Who told Cronus that one of his children was going to overthrown him?
Oh, dude, it was like his dad, Uranus, who spilled the beans to Cronus about his impending downfall. Uranus was like, "Hey, son, just a heads up, one of your kids is gonna take over your gig." And Cronus was probably just like, "Cool story, bro." And we all know how that turned out.
How did Uranus lose his power?
Gaia told Cronus to cut off the genitals of Uranus. ^ This answer bugged me since it is so vague. You probably know that Uranus cast his children into the Tartarus. The Tartarus is in the deepest bowels of the Earth(Gaea/Gaia; doesn't matter which way you spell it). This caused Gaea, Uranus' wife an incredible amount of pain. In an effort to soothe the unending pain, she requested one of her children to castrate Uranus. Cronus accepted the task, and his mother gave him an adamantine sickle to cut of Uranus' genitals. That is how Cronus overthrew his father, Uranus.
Why did Cronus eat his children?
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.
