Who is Rhea?

The offspring of Gaea the earth and Uranus the heavens became known as the Titans of Myth . Among them were Rhea and Cronus , Titans of the Earth. Although the Titans of Myth enjoyed god-like status, Gaea had other, less attractive members of her brood, whom Uranus banished to the pits of Tartarus. Gaea persuaded Cronus to kill Uranus and then release her captice brood. Cronus accomplished the first part of his mission, but then invited Rhea and the rest of the Titans of Myth to join him in the paradise of a subjugated Earth. Cronus and Rhea went on to have several children, but because Cronus feared an ancient oracle that foretold his own children would rise against him, he ate each one at birth - apart from Zeus , whom Rhea saved. Once he reached manhood, Zeus released his siblings and the underground brood, overthrew his father and banished the Titans of Myth - Rhea left with the Titans - to the stone pillars of Tartarus. Many thousands of years later, Thia and Hyperion managed to free themselves, and with the help of Donna Troy , released Rhea and the other Titans of Myth.
