Kronos: Difference between revisions

This article is about the Titan. You may be looking for the ship named Kronos.

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, and Hades.

Kronos' Roman counterpart was Saturn.

History

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, and he did, until Rhea gave birth to Zeus in secret, and instead of him, handed her husband a swaddled stone. Kronos didn't notice anything different, and swallowed the stone.^[1]

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 gear set inspired by and dedicated to the Titan.^[1]

Trivia

According to the myths, Kronos devoured every child he begat with Rhea. When Zeus saved his siblings, they accompanied him as the new gods, and became part of the twelve mightiest. In order from oldest to youngest, the children were Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon before Zeus.
In Homer's Iliad Iapetos is mentioned as brother of Kronos, and trapped with him in Tartarus.
In Assassin's Creed: Odyssey the Titan Kronos is conflated with the Greek personification of time Chronos.
