He married his own sister Rhea.
Zeus fought Cronus because Mother Earth was angry at Cronus and knew that one of his sons could defeat him. Cronus was eating his children so he wouldn't be overthrown but Rhea, his wife, made sure Zeus wasn't eaten. Then, when Zeus was old enough, he fought Cronus.
Cronus was a titan. He had children which were gods whom he ate to save his power. Luckily his wife saved one son, Zeus, who later made Cronus vomit up the other children.
Demeter's father was Cronus, a Titan; that is, one of the sons of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Heaven). Her mother was Rhea, the mother of the Olympian gods, and the wife and sister of Cronus.
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.
