Kronus

Kronus was the king of the Titans. Incited by his mother, Gaea, he castrated his father, Uranus, so that no more monsters can be born on Earth. From the blood of Uranus came Aphrodite, and a race of Giants. Kronus married his sister Rhea, and by her he had six children, the Olympians. He swallowed all of them except Zeus, which she hid in a cave on Crete, and in his place she gave him a rock to swallow wrapped in a sheet. After Zeus grew up he overthrew his father and after the war with the Titans he was forced to vomit up the other Olympians and then Kronus and the other Titans were confined to Tartartus.
