Rhea's warning to Zeus, “Repeat your father’s mistakes, and the cycle of suffering will never end,” suggests that power can harm people if used wrongly. In this context, she is cautioning Zeus not to replicate the oppressive and destructive behaviors exhibited by his father, Cronus, who feared being overthrown and ended up devouring his own children. Rhea likely chooses this moment to emphasize the importance of using power responsibly, as Zeus is at a pivotal point in his rise to leadership and must understand the potential consequences of his actions. By warning him, she hopes to steer him towards a more compassionate and just use of power, ultimately preventing further suffering.
