Kronos (Son of Ouranos)

Kronos was a titan.

Mythology
When Gaea was upset with Ouranos for imprisoning her eldest children within Tartarus, she asked her six titan sons to overthrow their father. Kronos did as his mother asked by persuading four of his brothers to grab hold of their father while Kronos castrated him with a sickle made by Gaea from the hardest materials in the earth.

After Kronos overthrew his father he heard a prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him. To prevent this, Kronos swallowed his eldest five children right after they were born. However, Rhea hid their youngest child, Zeus, and he grew up and tricked his father into puking up his eldest five children that he had swallowed. Kronos was eventually defeated by Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.
