Greek Mythology Gods and Goddesses The Beginning… Cronus and Rhea were two of the original Titans…a group of mighty beings who rules the world. Cronus feared that one of his children would overthrow him. So, he ate them all. Rhea didn’t like that. Zeus Zeus was one of Cronus and Rhea’s children. Rhea pretended to give Cronus a child to eat, but it was really a stone. She took Zeus away and raised him secretly. Zeus Conquers Cronus Zeus grew to be a mature Titan. He challenged Cronus, won, and freed his brothers and sisters from Cronus’ belly. This was the start of the Greek pantheon of gods and goddesses that we know today.
