Gaea asked the titans for a volunteer to ambush Uranus and castrate him, Cronus volunteered because he probably wanted to show the other titans his power and make himself ruler of the universe
His son Saturn overthrew him from his kingdom and executed him.
In the begining, Gaia the Mother Earth bore Uranus - Sky, Ourea - Montains and Pontos - Sea. Gaia and Uranus have got plenty of children, but Uranus hated them. The youngest son of Uranus, called Cronus ("Time") castrated his father with sickle. From Uranus' genitals became beautiful Aphrodite, nd from blood great Gigantes. After that, Cronus and Rhea were king and queen of Universe. Roman equivalent of Uranus is Caelus. He is alo castrated, by his son Saturn, equivalent of Cronus.
They made the Titans (Cronus, Oceanus etc),three Hecatonchires, Cyclopses and Echidna the mother of all monsters.
In Greek mythology, Uranus was the husband of Gaia (Earth) and the father of the Titans, including Cronus and Rhea. Uranus did not have many close friends, as he was mainly associated with the elements and forces of the sky and heavens.
Uranus is named after the ancient Greek deity of the sky Uranus, the father of Cronus (Saturn) and grandfather of Zeus (Jupiter).

No. Aphrodite is older than Hera. It's like this. Gaia helped Cronus kill Uranus, and the remains of Uranus formed Aphrodite (gross, but true). Cronus and Rhea THEN gave birth to Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Hera and Demeter.

Uranus
The Titan children of Uranus and Gaia took Uranus's place as rulers of the heavens, for Uranus had been castrated by the scythe that Cronus had wielded. Cronus was afterwards called King of the Titans, his son Zeus would later overthrow him for swallowing his own sons and daughters in fear of a prophesy of Gaia and Uranus, that he would be overthrown be his children, as he had overthrown his father Uranus.
Cronus didn't hide any children. It was his father, Uranus, who hid Cronus' brothers, Hecatonchires and Cyclopes.
Gaea, goddess of the earth, and Uranus, god of the heavens, were the parents of Cronus.
Cronus defeated his farther Uranus because his mother Gaia wanted him to overthrow Uranus and free his brothers, the Cyclopes, and the hundred handed monsters.
Cronus/Kronos did not ever become an ultimate 'god'. He was a titan.
His son Cronus/ Κρόνος was the person who overtrhrew Uranus with the help of his mother Gaea.
