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 Hades?
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.
Who isThe father of Zeus and who swallowed his children?
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.
