Ya, I should have mentioned the fact that it was his son that would replace Zeus, but no one really knows what happened to the unborn child. I mean Athena gets this amazing story about surviving being eaten and was born fully formed and in armor. But her brother is barely even mentioned most of the time.

In fact, most of the myths say that when Rhea was pregnant the first time, Zeus was told that she would eventually give birth to a son more powerful then Zeus. Zeus freaked out, tricked her into turning into a fly, ate her, and was just lucky Rhea's first child was a girl. Myths can be weird sometimes...
