    I Need Info On Saturn & Ops And Their Child Abadir Who Was A Rock Swallowed By Saturn, Can You Help?

    I'm researching about famous rocks in history and I stumbled upon a brief mention of a rock swallowed by Saturn who was supposed to be Saturn and Ops' child and considered to be a god. The stone or rock considered a god was called Abadir. I found this brief story in an outdated encyclopedia but can't seem to find anymore info on it. Why would their child be a stone or rock and why would Saturn swallow it? What kind of rock was it? Any other interesting facts related? Thanks.

    Saturn and his wife Ops are characters of Greek Mythology. Saturn was a Roman Diety for agriculture and harvest. Ops was his wife. The actual story goes something like Saturn was also identified by the name Cronus, who overthrew his father Uranus for power. He was told by fortune tellers that his son would do the same to him. Cronus ate all his children to prevent this from happening. Ops or Rhea as she was called hid her 6th child and gave Cronus a stone instead which Cronus ate. According to my knowledge the son's name was Zeus. See the link below for more details:

      I do wish I knew what kind of rock Saturn ate thinking it was his son, it was placed at Delphi and revered, but still dunno what kind of rock it was. Probably no one knows. Maybe it doesn't matter. It's a weird but interesting story.
