Kronos, also spelled Cronus, was one of the Titans of Greek mythology. Son of Uranus and Gaia, he overthrew his father. His wife was Rhea. Kronos' Roman counterpart was Saturn.
Afterwards, it was prophesied that he, in turn, would be overthrown by one of his own children. To prevent this prophecy, Kronos decided to devour them all, and he did, until his wife, Rhea, gave birth to Zeus in secret, and instead of him, handed her husband a swaddled stone. Kronus didn't notice anything different, and swallowed the stone.
After growing up, Zeus forced Kronos to throw up his siblings, as well as the stone, which became the 'navel of the Earth', Omphalos.
At some point, a statue of Kronos devouring one of his children was raised on a mountain top next to the city of Olympia.
