No that is the father of Zeus Kronos who swallowed his kids. Zeus did swallow Metis, but he did not make a habit of it.
He turned Metis into a fly and swallowed her. Why? Because they were expecting a child and Zeus thought if its going to be a boy, he might turn out stronger than me just like how i did the same to my dad. So therefore he decided to swallow her (:
Zeus had impregnated Metis and when the great goddess Gaia found out she issued a prophecy that any son of Zeus and Metis would usurp the throne of Zeus' father. Zeus wanted to prevent this from happening so naturally he decided to swallow Metis whole. Unfortunately for Zeus Metis wasn't pregnant with a boy but with a girl. The child grew and grew inside of Zeus' head and he developed an epic headache that got worse and worse for several years. Hephaestus eventually saw Zeus' pain and split his head open and out came a fully dressed full grown Athena. I hope you found this helpful. :)
Answer: Metis was the first love of Zeus. Gaia warned Zeus that Metis would bear a daughter, whose son would overthrow him. So Zeus swallowed her. The reason for this was to continue to carry the child through to the birth himself. ----
Jupiter, or Zeus, swallowed his first wife, Metis, and therefore produced his daughter, Athena from his head.

Chronos did not swallow any gods. Cronus swallowed Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Poseidon and Hades before Zeus and Metis tricked him into releasing them.
Metis was the mother of Zeus's daughter Athena.
The only child Zeus had with Metis in myth was Athena.
Zeus had many wives, the second of which was Metis. Metis gave birth to Athena. Because of prophecies claiming that Metis' second child would replace him, Zeus proceeded to eat Metis. Zeus was a horrendous jerk.
Nom.
His first wife was Metis
