Hades
Birth
Cronos had married one of
the Titans named Rheia, and he was determined not to let any of his children
rebel against him like he had done with his father, so after every baby
was born Cronos Promptly swallowed them. He swallowed 5 of these babies
in the same manner, until Rheia finally decided that she wanted some
children to play with so when the next baby was born she hid the baby
away on the island of Crete. Then she presented a rock wrapped in swaddling
clothes, and Cronos swallowed the rock. There the baby (Zeus) grew up
until Rheia told Zeus what had happened with his brothers and sisters.
Zeus and Rheia finally made Cronos throw up his brothers and sisters. Hestia,
Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Posiedon. Then Zeus made war on Cronos and won
.
This is the birth of Hades.
