Cronos was told by a prophet (I believe, it may have been the oracle) that one of his sons would one day overthrow him, as Cronos did his father. In order to prevent this, Cronos swallowed all of his children whole as soon as they were born. His wife, Rhea, with their last child, Zeus, gave Cronos a rock wrapped in a blanket to swallow instead of the child. Zeus returned after being hidden for many years, poisoned his father (making Cronos very sick) and rescued his brothers and sisters. Together, the children of Cronos overthrew him, and ruled over Olympus.
Cronus swallowed his children by Rhea, these being Hades, Hestia, Hera, Demeter, and Poseidon.

Hades and his siblings were the children of Cronus and Rheia. Since Cronus heard that his children would destroy him, he ate them after Rheia gave birth to them. When Zeus was born, Rheia gave Cronus a rock to eat, and he threw up the children he had already consumed. One of these upchucked children was Hades.
According to the myth Cronus did eat 5 of his children (all except Zeus ) and he swallowed them. (Edit, continuing) Then, Zeus lent Cronus a potion and made him drink it. Cronus threw up and the 5 of them came out. Then, a great war started between the Olympians and the Titans.
