But Rhea, his wife, brought the youngest one, Zeus, into a cave and raised him up. After he grew up he got a poisonous wine and gave it to Cronus. Being immortal, the other children of Cronus can’t be killed. So they raised in the Cronus stomach. After Cronus vomited the others, they united with Zeus and stand against the Titans.
