Rhea, in Greek religion, was an ancient goddess, probably pre-Hellenic in origin who was worshipped sporadically throughout the Greek world. She was associated with fruitfulness and had affinities with Gaia and the Great Mother of the Gods, which was also called Cybele. A daughter of Uranus and Gaia, Rhea was considered to be a Titan. She married her brother Cronus, who was warned that one of his children was fated to over throw him, swallowed Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon, soon after they were born. Rhea concealed the birth of Zeus in a cave on Mount Dicte in Crete and gave Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes instead. He swallowed it in the belief that it was Zeus. Subsequently Cronus was vanquished by Zeus and was forced to disgorge the swallowed children. After the Titanomachy, the Olympians allowed her to go and live on the island of Crete. The island was one of the main places of worship for Rhea in Ancient Greece. Temples and sanctuaries could be found across Ancient Greece, after all, Rhea was mother to the most important gods of the later Greek pantheon.
