He was the god of time and the king of the gods until Zeus, his son, overthrew him and imprisioned him in Tartarus, the place of punishment in the Underworld.
Zeus did not kill his father Cronus, he cast him into Tartarus. He did this to rule.
Why did cronus swallow his children? Let ME explain this better. Cronus was told that the next son he would have would kill him and rule the gods. So, cronus ate his 5 children. But his wife hid the last child and gave cronus a rock instead of Zues and when he was old enough he had metis create a potion that would make cronus spit up the children he had swallowed. After the gods/godesses were out of cronus they all fought him. The titans helped cronus. The ttans were sent to tartarus where they would be punished forever and Cronus was killed.
Cronus' rule was threatened primarily by a prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him, prompting him to swallow each of his offspring at birth to prevent this fate. However, his wife Rhea saved their youngest son, Zeus, by hiding him and giving Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes instead. As Zeus grew older, he eventually led a rebellion against Cronus, culminating in a Titanomachy that resulted in Cronus' defeat and the establishment of Zeus' reign. This cycle of fear and rebellion highlights the tension between generations in Greek mythology.
Cronus was defeated by his youngest son, Zeus, in a conflict known as the Titanomachy. Zeus, along with his siblings—whom Cronus had swallowed—led a rebellion against their father and the Titans. After a fierce battle, Zeus emerged victorious, overthrowing Cronus and establishing the rule of the Olympian gods. This event marked the end of the Titan's reign in Greek mythology.
In Greek mythology, it is said that Cronus (or Cronos or Kronos), who is actually a Titan, not a god, was chopped to pieces with his own scythe by his son Zeus, and cast into Tartarus. Zeus then took his throne to rule the gods.

The Titans, also known as the elder gods, ruled the earth before the Olympians overthrew them. The ruler of the Titans was Cronus who was de-throned by his son Zeus. Most of the Titans fought with Cronus against Zeus and were punished by being banished to Tartarus. During their rule the Titans were associated with the various planets.
