Kronos

Titans - Greek mythology

Kronos (Greek: Κρόνος, transl .: Kronos), in Greek mythology, is the youngest of the titans, son of Uranus, the starry sky, and Gaia, the earth. Cronus was the king of the titans, especially when it is seen in its destructive aspect, the impregnable time that governs the destinies and everything devours [2]. Titan Cronus served as inspiration for the ancient Orphic sect to create the figure of Chronos, whom they called the "primordial god of time." It is noteworthy that the way of life of the Orphans caused great strangeness among the Greeks and the new theogony created by them was likewise repudiated by the civic and popular cult of the Greek poles. This means that, for the common Greeks, the Titan Cronus (and only he) was the god of time par excellence.

At the request of his mother he became lord of heaven, castrating his father with a blow of a sickle. From then on, the world was ruled by the lineage of titans which, according to Hesiod, constituted the second divine generation. It was during the reign of Cronos that humanity (newborn) lived its "Golden Age".

 

Story

Cronos married his sister Reia, who gave him six sons (the Chronides): three women, Hestia, Demeter and Hera, and three men, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus.

As he was afraid of being overthrown by an oracle's curse, Kronos swallowed his children at birth. He ate all except Zeus, whom Reia managed to save by deceiving Cronos by rolling a stone in a cloth, which he swallowed without realizing the exchange.

When Zeus grew up, he decided to take revenge on his father, requesting for this achievement the support of Métis - the Prudence - daughter of the Titan Ocean. She offered Cronos a magic potion, which made him vomit the children he had devoured.

Then Zeus became lord of the sky and supreme divinity of the third generation of gods of Greek mythology, by banishing the titans to Tartarus and removing the father from the throne. According to Homer's words, Zeus seized him with chains in the underworld, where he was found, after ten years of fierce fighting, by his brothers, the titans, who had thought to regain the power of Zeus and the gods of Olympus.

In some variants of the myth, Cronus and the Titans are attained by the mercy of Zeus, liberated from Tartarus and each one returns to its cosmological function in the universe. With the permission of the son Hades, Cronos becomes, the ruler of the Champs Elysées, (which is located in the lower world) resting place for the blessed dead.
