<P> Cronus took his father's throne after dispatching Uranus . He then secured his power by re-imprisoning his siblings the Hecatonchires and Cyclopes in Tartarus . </P> <P> Cronus, paranoid and fearing the end of his rule, now turned into the terrible king his father Uranus had been, swallowing each of his children whole as they were born from his sister - wife Rhea . Rhea, however, managed to hide her youngest child Zeus, by tricking Cronus into swallowing a rock wrapped in a blanket instead . </P> <P> Rhea brought Zeus to a cave in Crete, where he was raised by Amalthea . Upon reaching adulthood, he masqueraded as Cronus' cupbearer . Once Zeus had been established as a servant of Cronus, Metis gave him a mixture of mustard and wine which would cause Cronus to vomit up his swallowed children . After freeing his siblings, Zeus led them in rebellion against the Titans . </P> <P> Zeus then waged a war against his father with his disgorged brothers and sisters as allies: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon . Zeus released the Hecatonchires and the Cyclopes from the earth (where they had been imprisoned by Cronus) and they allied with him as well . The Hecatonchires hurled stones, and the Cyclopes forged for Zeus his iconic thunder and lightning . Fighting on the other side allied with Cronus were the other Titans with the important exception of Themis and her son Prometheus who allied with Zeus (NB . for Hesiod, Clymene is the mother of Prometheus). Atlas was an important leader on the side of Cronus . The war lasted ten years, but eventually Zeus and the other Olympians won, the Titans were imprisoned in Tartarus, and the Hecatonchires were made their guards . Atlas was given the special punishment of holding up the sky . In some accounts, when Zeus became secure in his power he relented and gave the Titans their freedom . </P>
