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.

Did Zeus really eat his kids as mentioned in Greek mythology?

Yes, in Greek mythology, Zeus did not actually eat his children. His wife, Hera, attempted to prevent Zeus from fathering any more children by tricking him into thinking she had given birth to a child named Typhon. Zeus then swallowed a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, thinking it was the baby. This myth may have been misinterpreted over time, leading to the misconception that Zeus ate his children.
