Answer:
Cronus, in ancient Greece, is the Titan of time. The youngest of the 12 Titans, he slew his father under the command of his mother, Gaea, the earth mother, thus, making him king of the Titans. He took his sister Rhea as a wife, who bore Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon, all of whom were swallowed by Cronus because his own parents had warned that he would be overthrown by his own child. However, when Zeus was born, in the fear of having him eaten, Rhea hid him in the island, Crete, and tricked Cronus into swallowing a stone instead. Once he grew up to be strong and brave, Zeus knew that he had to confront Cronus and rescue his siblings. Zeus tricked Cronus by giving him an emetic, which causes vomiting. When Cronus vomited, he expelled all of his swallowed children.
After they were freed, Poseidon and Hades banded together with their brother, Zeus, to overthrow Cronus. Thus, the prophecy was fulfilled because his own sons took him down.
