"Kronos, is that a baby or the Omphalos you're eating?"
―Kassandra[src]

The Statue of Kronos was a monumental statue located within the ruins on top of the Kronion overlooking the Sanctuary of Olympia in Elis, Greece.

The statue featured the Titan Kronos, bewinged, devouring one of his children, because it had been prophesied that one of them would overthrow him. The statue was offered sacrifices at the spring equinox.[1]

During the Peloponnesian War, the statue witnessed the 'trial' of Kallipateira, a widowed woman who had been caught sneaking into the Olympic Games to watch the matches, disregarding the law against it. The case drew the interest of the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[2]
