Saturn (pictured in this 1915 illustration) was one of the Titans who once ruled earth in Greek and Roman mythology. To prevent this from occurring, Saturn response, he ate his children as soon as they were born. But the mother of his children, Rhea, hid one child, Zeus (Jupiter to the Romans). Once Zeus grew up, he gave his father a potion, forcing him to regurgitate his siblings. With his siblings, Zeus then defeated his father and became kings of gods and men, with his home on Mount Olympus.
