They were husband and wife. they also had 6 seven kids which Cronus ate five of them. He knew what one day one of his kids would take his place so he swallowed five of them but Rhea replaces Zeus with rocks and Cronus swallowed that. Soon after Zeus grows up Cronus throws up the 5 kids because Rhea gave him special drugs.

Cronus and Rhea, were Titans children of Uranus and Gaea the first deities of the ancient Greeks. Cronus after he assassinated his father became the second generation of gods and married Rhea who gave birth to Hestia, Hera, Demetra, Poseidon, Hades and Zeus.

As Cronus was afraid that he would have the same fate as his father he was eating his children. Rhea in order to protect her last child Zeus presented to Cronus a large stone which he immediately consumed. Rhea with the help of Cretans and the goat Amaltheia managed to raise Zeus who confronted his father and with the assistance of the other Titans brothers and sisters of Cronus he won the battle known as the battle of Titans and freed his sisters and brothers.

They agreed to control Zeus the sky, weather, order and justice, Poseidon the earth and the sea and Hades the world of dead.
