Yes, IIRC… Kronos swallowed a bunch of his children, except Zeus, whom Kronos’ wife Rhea hid from him… and provided Kronos a stone in the swaddling of a baby, which Kronos believed was Zeus, and swallowed that instead.
Then Zeus grows up in the wilderness with… some kind of entity aiding him, different versions of the story vary.
Grown up Zeus eventually gives Kronos a chalice of… magic poison, basically, and then Kronos vomits up all of his previously swallowed children… who are all basically fully functional adults now.
… I can’t think of a Hera story off the top of my head.
I… think Athena erupted out of Zeus’ forehead… for some reason, and that’s how she was born…
Uh… ok I am apparently kind of wrong?
Saturn is … apparently the Roman name for Kronos… and Juno is the Roman name for Hera… but at some point in history, Saturn started to be used to refer to… Hera, sometimes, by some people?
Somebody summon a classics major, I’m out of my element.
Anyway, this is probably the painting you are thinking of:
Wasn’t that Kronos, his father?

I’m definitely wrong. I was thinking of a painting, which is actually of Saturn. I think the myths are similar, but I’m not as familiar with them.
Saturn is… Hera, I think?
Zeus’ wife, whom he constantly cheats on.
Zeus = Jupiter Hera = Saturn

In this painting, Saturn = Kronos.
