Cronus swallowed all his children after they were born because he was paranoid about them usurping his throne. (Zeus' mom saved him by swaddling a stone and tricking Cronus into swallowing that instead.)

As an adult, Zeus slipped Cronus an emetic that made him vomit the kids back out, including Hera, whom he married.
