Cronus became a father to many famous Greek gods, including Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades,
Poseidon, and Zeus ๐ถ. However, he was worried that they might take his power someday, just as he had taken it from Uranus. To protect himself, Cronus made a terrible choice: he swallowed each of his children as they were born! ๐ฑ
This very scary act was a secret, but it created lots of trouble later. His wife, Rhea, was sad and didnโt want to lose her children, so she saved one, Zeus, by hiding him.
