  2. Parents of The Olympian Gods Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Dementer, Hestia, and Hera all had the same parents, Kronos and Rhea. However, Kronos was destructive, all-powerful and he ruled the “Golden Age”. Fearing that his son, Zeus, would overthrow him because of prophecy, he swallowed all of his children, except Zeus, because Rhea had managed to save him by feeding him a decoy. Many years later, Zeus had grown up and had forced Kronos to throw up Zeus’s siblings. This had led to a ten year war.
