Five. He had six children (Demeter,Hera,Hestia, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) but his wife Rhea, couldn't bare to give up all his children. So, she gave Cronus a rock in a blanket, instead of Zeus. And Cronus swallowed that instead. Than she hid Zeus among nymphs and satyrs, and asked mother Gaea to keep him safe. Then when Zeus grew older he tricked his father into barfing his brothers and sisters up. Than there was a war of the gods against the titans, and the gods won.
Why did cronus swallow his children? Let ME explain this better. Cronus was told that the next son he would have would kill him and rule the gods. So, cronus ate his 5 children. But his wife hid the last child and gave cronus a rock instead of Zues and when he was old enough he had metis create a potion that would make cronus spit up the children he had swallowed. After the gods/godesses were out of cronus they all fought him. The titans helped cronus. The ttans were sent to tartarus where they would be punished forever and Cronus was killed.
Cronus is the father of Zeus. Cronus swallowed his own children. But Rhea saved Zeus and hid him from Cronus so he wouldn't swallow him. Rhea gave cronus a rock wrapped in cloth instead of Zeus so Cronus swallowed the rock.
No, Cronus did not swallow Zeus. His mother, Rhea, hid him away and gave Cronus a wrapped stone instead.
because cronus killed his father to become ruler. He was afraid one of his kids might do the same and try to kill him, which was the case. Zeus later killed Cronus and became ruler of mount olympus.
Cronus didn't hide any children. It was his father, Uranus, who hid Cronus' brothers, Hecatonchires and Cyclopes.

None. You are thinking of his father, Cronus, who swallowed five of his six children (Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades and Poseidon), fearing they would overthrow him (as he had done with his own father, Uranus), following a prophecy given to him by his father and his mother Gaia. Zeus, his first born, was saved by his mother, Rhea, by passing Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling which he swallowed thinking it was his son. Zeus subsequently went on to overthrow Cronus, just as he had feared.
5,Poseidon,Hades,Hera,Demeter,Hestia
He swallowed 5 of his 6 kids: poseidon was one of them.
Rhea bore Cronus six children, of which he ate the first five right after birth, because he had been told that one of his offspring would dethrone him. When Rhea's sixth child, Zeus, was born, she gave Cronus a stone wrapped in cloth and hid the baby in a cave in Crete, where others raised him.

Poseidon is the son of Cronus and Rhea. Who are children of Gaia.

Zeus tricked Cronus into thinking he needed to swallow a rock wrapped in a blanket. This caused Cronus to regurgitate his brothers and sisters whom he had previously swallowed.
