I mean honestly, I would have advised even Saturn against it, especially in hindsight.

He was worried one of them would overthrow him. Which they did, so he wasn't wrong, but I'm pretty sure he didn't chew the kids, since he ate a rock in a blanket instead of Zeus/Jupiter. Goya's depiction might've been more successful.
