Rhea Mythology

She was called the Mother of the gods because she gave birth to the Olympians. Cronus was fearful of a prophecy that his son would dethrone him, so he swallowed his children until Rhea gave him a stone wrapped in swaddling as if it were a child. Cronus ate it and Rhea was able to give birth to her son Zeus without his knowing. Her worship was associated with fertility rites.
Here are a couple of links that may help.
