The Statue of Kronos in Elis

Kronos, alternatively Kronus or Cronus, was the King of the Titans of Greek mythology. The son of Uranus and Gaia, he castrated and overthrew his father. His wife was Rhea and he counted among his children Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter.

Kronos' Roman counterpart was Saturn.

Mythology

When Kronos' father, Uranus, sent the hundred-armed Hecatonchires and the one-eyed Cyclopes into Tartarus, Gaia forged a flint sickle and asked her Titan children to take revenge on him. Only Kronos was brave enough to take the sickle and he castrated Uranus with it, tossing his testicles into the sea which would later give birth to Aphrodite. With Uranus defeated, Kronos became ruler of the world.

It was prophesied that Kronos would be overthrown by one of his own children. In order to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, Kronos decided to devour them all as they were born. Rhea then gave birth to Zeus in secret and instead handed her husband a swaddled stone. Oblivious to the charade and too concerned about his own fate, Kronos did not notice and swallowed the stone. When Zeus became an adult, he freed his siblings from Kronos' stomach and led a rebellion against him and his fellow Titans, eventually emerging victorious and becoming the Twelve Gods who ruled from Mount Olympos.[1]

Legacy and Influence

At some point, a statue of Kronos devouring one of his children was raised on a mountain named after the Titan as Kronion, next to the Sanctuary of Olympia in Elis.[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.[2] Around the same time, Kassandra also claimed the possession of a set of armor inspired by and dedicated to the Titan.[1]

In the simulation of the Underworld created by the Isu Aletheia, a treasury dedicated to Kronos was located within The Scorched Lands of Tartaros.[3]

In Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, the Titan Kronos is conflated with the Greek personification of time named Chronos.
