Gaia also gave birth to the first Cyclops.

After Uranus throws the Hecatonchires and Cyclops into Tartarus, Gaia is furious. She asks her children to get rid of Uranus so she can save her other children, and only Kronos is brave enough to do it. He takes a flint sickle Gaia made, and gets rid of his father.

However, Kronos doesn't rescue his brothers, and Gaia is then angry with him. Gaia then prophesied that Kronos in turn was destined to be overthrown by his own son, and so the Titan attempted to avoid this fate by devouring his young. Zeus through deception by his mother Rhea, avoided this fate, and later rescues the Hecatonchires and Cyclops from Tartarus, and forces his father vomit up his brothers and sisters.

A war then starts between the Titans and the gods, Hecatonchires, and Cyclops. The young gods emerge victorious, and cut Kronos into many little pieces and toss what is left of him into Tartarus, where he put his own children.

Zeus was put leader over his siblings, and was kind to the Hecatonchires and Cyclops. They put the rest of the Titans that had fought them in various prisons so they could not escape, and built Olympus.
