onos a sickle and encouraged him to kill his father. when he had done so, he then married his sister rhea, but fearful that his own children might rise against him, he swallowed them as soon as they were born: first hestia, then demeter, hera, hades, and poseidon. however, when her sixth child, zeus, was due, rhea gave birth to him at the dead of night, and entrusted him to the care of her mother gaia. she gave cronos a stone to swallow in the baby s stead. when zeus was grown, he asked to be made cronos cup-bearer. he mixed his father a powerful emetic, causing him to vomit up both the stone and the five older children. zeus then led his brothers and sisters to war against the titans whom they defeated and confined to tartarus in the underworld. thereafter, zeus reigned supreme among the
