      Oh i suddenly get it - it’s about chronos who swallowed his children in case they turned out to be cooler than him, but his son Zeus tricked him by giving him a rock instead. Zeus later became king of the gods which is either super cool or extremely cringe depending on your perspective.

        Right. Except that it was Zeus’ mother, Rhea who, tired of her husband eating all their sons, gave Cronus the rock in swaddling clothes and hid infant Zeus away in a cave.

        But, basically, right.

          Oh yeah yeah you’re right I couldn’t remember how Zeus substituted a rock for himself. Could probably do a pink panther remake about that one to be honest
