That did not matter him that his mother-wife Gaea experienced dearly knowing the fate of her kids. He was a wicked leader, and his Ti (symbol) sons and daughters were fearful of him. Even when Gaea advised them to sign up for her in a plot to overthrow Uranus, the Titans, terrified, could hardly reply.
It absolutely was only when Cronus, the most youthful Titan, finally agreed to support Gaea that Uranus was finally and violently conquered. Cronus dismembered his father and scattered the body parts. The Giants then separated their siblings and made Cronus king. Cronus, however , turned out to be as incredible a king as his father Uranus.
Gaea warned Cronus that like his father, his child will overthrow him. Obsessed with staying away from Uranus’s destiny, Cronus devoured each of the kids born to him and Rhea, his wife.
