I'm a strong god. Surely I'm too big to be eaten now?
Once, a long time ago, Uranus fell in love with Gaea. Together they gave birth to 12 mighty Titans. But the bravest of the bunch, Cronos decided that his father ruled long enough. The 12 Titans overthrew him, and Cronos ruled.
Now servant, fetch me something to drink.
They overthrew him, and Cronos later ruled. He chose the goddess Rhea as his wife. Rhea gave birth to 6 children, which Cronos ate 5 in fear that his children would overthrow him as he did to his father. Rhea quickly hid their 6th child, and named him Zeus. She put him in the care of nymphs, to protect her child.
Zeus grew to be a majestic and strong god. One day he decided to go to Mount Olympus. His mother missed him, so she disguised Zeus as a servant for his father.
A job as a servant did not satisfy Zeus, so he made a special drink for his father, so he wouldn't rule for much longer...
I don't like this...
The potion made Cronos so sick, that he threw up all his 5 children, undigested in his stomach. They all were now all gods and goddesses.
Ah! I wasn't expecting that!
Yes, my plan worked!
Together, Zeus and his brothers and sisters threw Cronos off of the throne. He gave each of them their own powers, so he wouldn't look over everything himself. Hades, Underworld. Hera, Women and Motherhood. Poseidon, Sea. Demeter, Harvest. Hestia, Hearth and Home. Zeus became the ruler, as the god of the Sky....
