Document Summary
Cronus rules over a world filled with titans, cyclopes, hundred-handed giants and new monsters born to gaia. He marries his sister rhea, who bore him six children: hestia, demeter, hera, hades, earth-shaker, zeus. Uranus and gaea warn cronus: he would be overthrown by one of his children. Cronus swallowed his children as soon as they issued forth from his wife. Rhea goes to her parents for advice; they instruct her to bear her youngest child to crete.

When cronus asked for the last child, rhea gave him a stone wrapped in clothes, cronus swallowed it. Zeus grew into manhood and forced cronus to vomit up his children.
