With Kronos overthrown, most of the Gods moved to Mount Olympus, where Zeus became the king of the Gods with Hera as his queen. Rhea decided to stay on the island of Crete, where she had given birth to Zeus. She would sometimes journey to Mount Olympus for celebrations in a chariot pulled by two lions, one of her sacred animals. When the cult of the Phrygian Mother Goddess Kybele spread to Greece, the Greeks saw her as Rhea, who they said had fled to Phrygia to escape from Kronos's wrath over her tricking him with Zeus. Rhea's name, which means "flow," is also seen as RHEIA, and her epithets include METER MEGALE (great mother), METER THEON (mother of the Gods), and METER PANTON (mother of all).
