When he finally did gain power from his mother and he became king, he began obsessing over keeping his power, fearing that someone will come take it from him one day. As a result, he did many horrible acts, like kidnapping Nike and Eos , and imprisoning his own children in order to make sure no one can take his power. His mind grew more and more unstable as he became more obsessed with his power.
However, he still seems to have a caring side, mostly towards his wife Rhea and oldest son Hades. Cronus is the youngest child of Gaia and Uranus. Because he was the only one among his siblings without Titan marks, and therefore the weakest, he gained an inferiority complex. Wanting to be the strongest, he accepted power from Gaia and defeated his father to become the new king.
In the process, he imprisoned his other siblings, the Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires, in Tartarus. MYth Wikia Explore. Amphitrite Delphin Thanatos. Recent blog posts Forum.

His mother, Gaia , was not only the personification of the earth, but also the first deity in existence. Of all their children, Cronus was the youngest. Cronus was also siblings with the one-eyed Cyclopes—Brontes, Arges, and Steropes—and the Hecatoncheires—Kottos, Briareos and Gyges, monstrosities with a hundred hands each.
Convinced that his children would one day rebel against him, Uranus imprisoned them in Tartarus, a hellish realm deep within the earth. Distraught by Uranus's tyranny, Gaia urged her children to rebel against their wicked father. When she offered them a flint sickle in the hopes they might take up arms, only Cronus answered her call. Hesiod described this exchange in the Theogony :. Cronus was to surprise Uranus, overpower him with the help of his fellow Titans, and sever his genitals with his flint sickle:.
Then the son from his ambush stretched forth his left hand and in his right took the great long sickle with jagged teeth, and swiftly lopped off his own father's members and cast them away to fall behind him. In his triumph, Cronus banished the Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires to Tartarus and ushered in the reign of the Titans, sometimes known as the Golden Age of the Greek mythos. The peace proved short-lived, however.
Like his father, Cronus grew jealous and cruel. In an effort to prevent this calamity, Cronus ate each of his children as soon as they emerged from the womb.
