He feared that they would overthrow him and take his throne, as he had done to his own father, Uranus (34).

Gaia advised that she give Cronus a stone to swallow in the place of her next child. After the birth of her last child, Zeus, Rhea followed this advice: she hid Zeu...

Finally when Zeus was born she tricked Cronus into thinking it was his own son, when handed to him, and he eat him like all the others. But after doing so, Rhea told Cronus that she had given him a stone wrapped up in a blanket. Zeus later overthrew his father and released all of his other kin.

Then Gaea’s time for had finally came because the next immortal children born to her and Uranus were the thirteen titans.
