<P> Most ancient etymologists derived Rhea (Ῥέα) by metathesis from ἔρα "ground", although a tradition embodied in Plato and in Chrysippus connected the word with ῥέω (rheo), "flow", "discharge", which is what LSJ supports . Alternatively, the name Rhea may be connected with words for the pomegranate, ῥόα, later ῥοιά . </P> <P> The name Rhea may ultimately derive from a pre-Greek or Minoan source . </P> <P> According to Hesiod, Cronus sired six children by Rhea: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus in that order . Gaia and Uranus told Cronus that just as he had overthrown his own father, he was destined to be overcome by his own child; so as each of his children was born, Cronus swallowed them . Rhea, Uranus and Gaia devised a plan to save the last of them, Zeus . Rhea gave birth to Zeus in Crete, and gave Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, which he promptly swallowed; Rhea hid her infant son Zeus in a cave on Mount Ida . Her attendants, the warrior - like Kouretes and Dactyls, acted as a bodyguard for the infant Zeus, helping to conceal his whereabouts from his father . According to Plato, Phorcys, Cronus and Rhea were the eldest children of Oceanus and Tethys . </P> <P> Rhea had "no strong local cult or identifiable activity under her control". She was originally worshiped in the island of Crete, identified in mythology as the site of Zeus's infancy and upbringing . Her cults employed rhythmic, raucous chants and dances, accompanied by the tympanon (a wide, handheld drum), to provoke a religious ecstasy . Her priests impersonated her mythical attendants, the Curetes and Dactyls, with a clashing of bronze shields and cymbals . The tympanon's use in Rhea's rites may have been the source for its use in Cybele's--in historical times, the resemblances between the two goddesses were so marked that some Greeks regarded Cybele as their own Rhea, who had deserted her original home on Mount Ida in Crete and fled to Mount Ida in the wilds of Phrygia to escape Cronus . A reverse view was expressed by Virgil, and it is probably true that cultural contacts with the mainland brought Cybele to Crete, where she was transformed into Rhea or identified with an existing local goddess and her rites . </P>
