or Cronos or Kronos
In Greek religion , a male agricultural deity.
He was the youngest of the 12 Uranus and Gaea , and his castration of his father separated heaven from earth. With his sister and consort Rhea , he fathered Hestia , Demeter , Hera , Hades , and Poseidon , all of whom he swallowed because he had been warned that he would be overthrown by his own child. Rhea hid his son Zeus and tricked Cronus into swallowing a stone; Zeus later forced Cronus to disgorge the others and then vanquished him in war. He was identified with the Roman god Saturn .
