However, Zeus was hidden from Cronos's grasp by his mother, Gaia, and grew up resenting his father. He tried bribing the Sisters of Fate by giving them the Steeds of Time, but when this failed, he instead chose to swallow his children whole whenever they were born. He fathered the first of the Olympians with his wife Rhea and was told by the Oracle that his children would rise against him and overthrow him, resulting in him devouring them. Cronos was their leader, but it was prophesized that he would be overthrown by his own children, something he sought to prevent. Cronos is the child of Ouranos and Gaia, having been born on the Island of Creation, also home to The Sisters of Fate. They feared the Sisters' power over fate and decided to leave the island to instead rule over the mortal world, beginning the "Golden Age of Mankind".
