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.

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.

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?

How did Poseidon Hades and Zeus defeat Cronus?

Cronus was told by his father Uranus and Mother Earth that one of his own sons would someday over throw him. Cronus then swallowed the first five children that his wife, Rhea, bore him: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon to stop this from happening. He meant to swallow the next child, Zeus, but Rhea tricked him and saved the baby. She substituted a stone wrapped in cloth for the baby and gave in to Cronus. Zeus was raised by nymphs and grew to manhood in secrecy of his father. Eventually, he returned home and became cup-bearer for Cronus. After drinking poison mixed into his drink by Zeus, Cronus vomited up his five children and the stone. This is how Poseidon came to the world. After releasing his brothers, Zeus led a war against Cronus and the other Titans. The war went on for ten years when Zeus, Poseidon & Hades released the Cyclopes from captivity. In gratitude, the Cyclopes gave each of the brothers a weapon. Poseidon received a trident, Zeus a thunderbolt, and Hades a helmet of darkness. They used these gifts to finally defeat Cronus and the rest of the titans. Now that the three brothers were the rulers of all existence they decided to draw lots to determine their domains. Poseidon drew water, Zeus drew the sky, and Hades drew the underworld. And that is how "The Big Three" got their powers.

Why does Cronus rebel against Uranus?

Khronos/Chronos/Cronos/Cronus/Kronos rebellied against his father Uranus not because he wanted the power, but to prove to his mother that he DESERVED the power. One day Gaea gave Khronos/Chronos/Cronos/Cronus/Kronos a sickle and told him to come and do away with his father. She invited him down to mate and then Khronos/Chronos/Cronos/Cronus/Kronos let him have it. The reason Gaea was so mad in the first place is because Uranus locked away her children, the monsters in Tartarus. Before Uranus was banished, he told Khronos/Chronos/Cronos/Cronus/Kronos that one of his children would rise and do the same to him. This came to pass just as fore told by the former sky god.
