  1. it technically got swallowed by him but in greek myth and history

    it became the omphalos stone

    it was supposed to mark the exact center of the earth.


  2. Wiki

    Once he had grown up, Zeus used a poison given to him by Gaia to force Cronus (Kronos or Kronus) to disgorge the contents of his stomach in reverse order:

    FIRST -- the stone, which was set down at Pytho under the glens of Mount Parnassus to be a sign to mortal men.  The Delphic oracle is located at Delphi/Pytho being the place name. The site was considered the center of the earth, represented by a stone, the omphalos or navel.

    Then the goat that nursed Zeus, and then his two brothers and three sisters.
