The child who prophesied to overthrow Zeus was the hero known as Dionysus. According to mythology, it was foretold that a child born of a mortal woman would eventually challenge the rule of Zeus. In some versions of the myth, this prophecy is linked to the Titaness Rhea, who gave birth to Dionysus, marking a significant figure in the pantheon that could disrupt Zeus's reign.

Is Zeus known to have a phobia?

Yes. Zeus was afraid that he would be overthrown by a child of his as he had overthrown his father. Zeus had a child by Metis who was prophesied would bear children greater than their father. Fearing that he would be overthrown (as he had overthrown his father) Zeus swallowed the child (as his father had done to most of his children). The story has a happy ending. The child cracked open Zeus' head from the inside and leaped out in full battle gear. Fortunately it turned out to be a girl (Athena) so didn't really count as a threat and was accepted into the pantheon.

In Greek mythology, Cronus (or Kronos) ate his children because he was prophesied to be overthrown by one of them. To prevent this fate, he swallowed each of his offspring—Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon—immediately after they were born. However, his wife Rhea managed to save their youngest child, Zeus, by hiding him and giving Cronus a stone to swallow instead. Zeus later led a rebellion against Cronus, fulfilling the prophecy.
