He is known for his erotic escapades. These resulted in many godly and heroic offspring, including Athena, Apollo and Artemis, Hermes, Persephone (by Demeter), Dionysus, Perseus, Heracles, Helen, Minos, and the Muses (by Mnemosyne); by Hera, he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe and Hephaestus.

Zeus in myth/Birth
Cronus sired several children by Rhea: Hestia, Hemeter, Hera, Hades, and Posiedon, but swallowed them all as soon as they were born, since he had learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own son as he had overthrown his own father- an oracle that Zeus was to hear and avert. But when Zeus was about to be born, Rhea sought Gaia to devise a plan to save him, so that Cronus would get his retribution for his act against Uranus and his own childern. Rhea gave birth to Zeus in Crete, handing Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling cloths, which he promptly swallowed.
