After Kronos defeated his father, he then married his sister Rhea. They then had six children: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus. Kronos was afraid that his children would overthrow him just like he did his father, so after the birth of his first five kids he would swallow them whole. When Rhea gave birth to the sixth child, Zeus, she decided to trick Kronos. So instead of presenting Kronos with the child she gave him a rock in a blanket. Later Kronos swallowed it believing it was his child. Afterwards Rhea sent Zeus to the island of Crete to be raised by nymphs. Later his son Zeus would come back to defeat him and help his siblings escape the stomach of Kronos.
