Kronus, also spelled Kronos and Cronus, was one of the Titans of Greek mythology. Son of Uranus and Gaia, he castrated and overthrew his father. His wife was Rhea. Kronus' Roman counterpart was Saturn.

Afterwards, it was prophesied that he, in turn, would be overthrown by one of his own children. In order to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, Kronus decided to devour them all, and he did, until Rhea gave birth to Zeus in secret, and instead of him, handed her husband a swaddled stone. Kronus didn't notice anything different, and swallowed the stone. [citation needed]

After growing up, Zeus forced Kronus to throw up his siblings, as well as the stone, which became the 'navel of the Earth', the Omphalos of the Sanctuary of Delphi. [citation needed]

At some point, a statue of Kronus devouring one of his children was raised on a mountain top next to the city of Olympia.[1]

During the Peloponnesian War Nyx the Shadow, a member of the Cult of Kosmos and the Sage of its Eyes of Kosmos branch, wielded a dagger bearing the name of the god. In due time the dagger ended up in the possession of the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[1]
