When Ouranos saw the power of them he refused to let them born by keeping them inside Gaea's womb. The second group was the Titans, Kronos was one of them.
Finally Ouranos recieved his pain for making that cruelities to Kronos brothers, through Kronos who castrate his father Ouranos.

Rhea his wife, managed to save the youngest, Zeus, by hiding him away on the island of Krete.

Another variable of this history says that Zeus, united forces with his brothers Poseidon and Hades for defeating his father and forced him to vomit up the other god's.
Many human generations later, Zeus released Kronos and his brothers from this prison, and made the old Titan king of the Elysian Islands, home of the blessed dead, but there are other histories that say that Zeus let Kronos as a prisoner in the tartarus. In theory the period in which ruled Kronos was a golden age for
After a long time, when Zeus gained the trust of Kronos. The god fed the Titan nectar mixed with mustard and salt, creating a concoction that did not agree with Kronos’s stomach. The effect worked and the siblings of zeus finally emerged ready to fight the king. The battle went on for ten years, when the god sought advice from his grandmother, Gaia, she told him to go to Tartarus and free Kyklopes and the Hekatoncheires, who would then help defeat the titans.
Cronus, Zeus’ dad, was always worried that one of his kids would have more power than him, so he went as far as eating his own children to make
Once Zeus was fully grown he returned to his father’s realm and with the help of his mother, hoodwinked Cronus to drink an emetic that made him disgorge his children (Leadbetter). It was these children: Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, Hera and Demeter who helped Zeus wage the Titan war against Cronus. The women titans refused to help Cronus defeat the Olympians and even a few male titans helped aid the Olympians. After ten years of battles, the Olympians were able to banish the Titans into the Underworld (Titanomachy). It was after this war that Zeus seized the throne and divided the sky, the underworld, and the sea amongst him and his brothers. (Hades: the underworld, Poseidon: the sea, and Zeus: the sky.)
Zeus was the child of the Titans, Cronus and Rhea, and was the youngest of all his siblings. Cronus , Zeus’ father, had been warned that one of his children would overthrow him. Cronus knew the consequences, for he had overthrown his father, Uranus. To prevent this from
Cronus was a titan and controlled the world along with the other titans when Zeus was born. Cronus usually swallowed his children after they were born, but Rhea took Zeus to Mount Dicte where he was hidden from Cronus. He then came back to Cronus when he was older and made Cronus regurgitate his brothers and sisters. His brothers were Hades and Poseidon and his sisters were Hestia, Demeter, and Hera. He ended up marrying Hera and had eight children with her. He was infamous for his affairs with other women while married to Hera. He had many children and some of importance were Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Hermes and Dionysus Hercules, Perseus the Muses, the Graces, and Helen of Troy were only a few of his children. He had many children that were gods and he had a few that were heros as
Together the Gods went to war against Cronus and the Titans for ten years, and Cronus was defeated. Having beaten the old gods, Zeus made himself supreme god of the Olympians and most powerful god. The brothers drew straws for domains of the Universe and therefore were divided into three parts. Poseidon became the god of the sea, Zeus became the king of gods, the sky, and heaven and earth and Hades became the god of the underworld.
Zeus’ affinity for being the main character of a myth is no different in the epic myth about his fight against Cronus and the Titans or the “Titanomachy.” In this larger-than-life battle Zeus has to overthrow his father Cronus and take his predestined place as king of the gods. In this myth however, Zeus has to grow and overcome many challenges that stand in his way to greatness. Zeus has to ask for help from his mother in order to be able to free his sibling from his father Cronus who had swallowed them whole. After Zeus frees his siblings he has to face the mighty Titans, so he asks the Cyclops and the Hecatonchires to aid him in this battle that lasts
In the beginning of time there was nothing but darkness and chaos but then miraculously a being emerged from the empty void called Erebus and night. All was dark, empty and silent until love was born bringing order with it, light was born along with Gaea, the earth from love. Gaea alone gave birth to Uranus, the sky, and he became her husband surrounding her on all sides. Together they created twelve Titans, three cyclops 's and three Hecatonchires (hundred-handed ones). Uranus did not like the Hecatonchires so he hid them in a secret place in the earth which angered Gaea so greatly that she plotted against him. When she asked her children to aid her in taking revenge against Uranus all of them were too afraid to challenge their father except for the youngest Titan named Kronos. Gaea and Kronos planned their revenge and castrated him as he slept. Uranus disappeared after promising Kronos that the Titans would be punished for what he had done. Kronos was then named ruler, married his sister Rhea and locked up the Hecatonchires and Cyclopes in Tartarus. When Rhea and Kronos had many children Gaea and Uranus prophesied that he would be overthrown by a child of his. To solve the issue Kronos ate all but one of his children in hopes of changing his fate. The child that was not devoured by his father was hidden by Rhea and was named Zeus. Zeus grew up and made a plan to get his siblings back and defeat Kronos. He decided on getting a potion to make
In the Greek civilization, the gods and goddesses were a major influence on the Greeks. The Greek gods and goddesses consisted of the twelve Olympian gods who lived on Mount Olympus. These twelve Olympic gods included the three major gods: Zeus; ruler of the gods; Poseidon, god of the sea; and Hades, god of the underworld. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were brothers commonly referred to as “The Big Three” in books such as Percy Jackson, by Rick Riordan, and the Pegasus series, by Kate O’Hearn. They were also sons of the Titan King Kronos.
“A prophecy for told that one of Cronus’s own kid would overthrow him as he did his father. Because of the prophecy he swallowed his kids. Rhea managed to save the youngest Zeus by feeding Cronus a stone wrapped in clothing. Zeus was raised in a secret cave on the highest mountain on the island of Crete. When Zeus was fully grown he forced Cronus to spit up his kids he swallowed Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Hades and Poseidon. Zeus also freed the Giants and Cyclops.

Cronus or (Kronos) was one of the most famous titans, he was the king and leader of his brothers fighting against Uranus and the Olympian Gods. Cronus was the youngest of his siblings but yet the most powerful. Cronus would gain power by overthrowing his father but then lose it because he was beat by his son Zeus. In Greek Mythology, Cronus was the primordial god of time, at the time it was described as a destructive, all devouring force. After Cronus had killed his father he was informed that he would be overthrown by one of his six children, so to prevent that, Cronus ate five of his children while his women Rhea was still pregnant with Zeus.
Poseidon was the second son of Cronus and Rhea, his two brothers Zeus and Hades.

Cronus meant to eat his fifth son, Zeus but his mother wrapped a stone with a cloth and fed that to Cronus. Zeus, as a grown man, and cup bearer of Cronus, put poison in Cronus's drink which made him vomit up all of the other children(Graves,12-13), which lead to the upbringing of Poseidon.
Zeus managed to trick Cronus into drinking a potion that made him vomit out his brothers and sisters. When they were free from Cronus together they all rebelled against the Titans. Whenever they defeated the Titans Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon drew lots to divide the universe among themselves. Zeus gained control of the sky, Poseidon gained control of the sea, and Hades received the underworld.
