Rhea, Zeus' momma. She fed Kronos a stone cuz this old geezer kept eating their kids. She was getting sick of it all and wrapped a stone in swaddling clothes and dumb ol' Kronos didn't think twice. Zeus was hidden in a cave somewhere and fed by the cornucopia, the horn of plenty of the good ol' she-goat Amalthea. Zeus grew up and made his daddy spew the kids, who were also grown up (it's a myth, ok) and they kicked his butt.

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.
