The goddess Rhea
Rhea, The Moon, gets its name from The Traditional Classical World Religion's Titaness Rhea. Rhea was the daughter of The Earth goddess, Gaia, and The Sky god, Father Sky, Uranus. Rhea was also older sister of The Titan Cronus, Father Time, the father of The King of The gods, Zeus; so she would be aunt of Zeus. Also, though she was the wife of Cronus and in turn, Zeus was also her son. Cronus was foretold by his parents Gaia and Uranus, that he himself would be overthrown by his offspring. To prevent this proficy, he ate all of his children after being born. This made Rhea very upset and when her youngest son, Zeus, was born, she hid him away and fed Cronus a BIg Rock covered in a blanket. Her act would lead to Cronus's and The Titans defeat by Zeus and The Olympic gods including the one's Cronus ate.
