Question

Why does Rhea hide Zeus from a Cronus
Keeps us away from family fights
Hide Zeus on a secret island
Save Zeus for being swallowed by Cronus
Protect Zeus from other gods

Answer 1

Rhea hides Zeus from Cronus primarily to **save Zeus from being swallowed by Cronus**. In Greek mythology, Cronus, fearing that one of his children would overthrow him as he had overthrown his own father, swallowed each of his offspring immediately after they were born. To prevent this fate for Zeus, Rhea hid him in a cave on the island of Crete and gave Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes instead. This act of deceit ensured that Zeus could grow up safely, ultimately allowing him to fulfill his destiny of overthrowing Cronus and freeing his siblings. The other options you mentioned, while related to family dynamics and protection, do not accurately capture the primary reason for Rhea's actions.
