Rhea (Rheia)

Uranus and Gaia had a daughter named Rhea. She was also the Titan Cronus's sister and wife. The six great Olympian gods Zeus, Hestia, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, and Demeter were born to them together. She was referred to as the Titans' queen and the goddess of mountains, motherhood, and fertility.

Her most well-known story involves her husband Cronus tricking her. A prophecy that Cronus will also be overthrown by his offspring was given to him after he overthrew his father, Uranus. People who are vulnerable to a prophecy believe they can change their fate, just like in much Greek mythology.

Cronus would so devour his offspring each time Rhea became pregnant and gave birth. Rhea had had enough by the time she was about to give birth to Zeus, her sixth child. Cronus was duped by her into consuming a rock in place of the kid. Zeus was then hidden until he reached adulthood. When he got back, he battled his father, saved his siblings, and ascended to the throne.

Rhea ruled as the earth goddess during the time of the Olympian gods, rarely interfering with their affairs. She was, nevertheless, always willing to provide her sons and daughters guidance and advice.
