Who is Cronos?

First of all, Titan is a race of gods who ruled the world during a certain period (Golden Age) in Greek mythology. Known as the last titan in mythology, Cronos is called Saturn in Roman mythology. He is also the father of Zeus. Kronos, who can control time and is depicted with a scythe in his hand, won the war against his father Uranus and took over. Although he is known for giving Olympus the Golden Age, he was defeated by Kronos and his children, who shared the same fate as his father.

The first appearance of Cronos in mythology begins with the union of Uranus and Gaia. Uranus, who ruled Olympus before Cronos, is married to Gaia, known as mother earth. However, he cradles all the children born of his marriage to Gaia back into Gaia's belly. This gives Gaia great sadness, but also great pain. Wanting to put an end to this, Gaia gives the scythe by giving advice to her last child, who has great power with the ability to rule time. With this scythe, Cronos declares war against his father, Uranus. After defying his father, he takes out the Cyclopes and Hekatonkheirs, who are the children of Uranus and are closed to Tartarus by Uranus, at the request of his mother, Gaia. However, after overthrowing Uranus, Kronos, who could not cope with the Cyclopes and Hekatonkheirs, was forced to lock them in Tartarus again.

War of Cronos and Uranus

In certain sources, it is acknowledged that Kronos killed Uranus with this grass cutter and bits of Uranus were tossed into the sea by Gaia, and Aphrodite was brought into the world from these pieces. As per different sources, Kronos removes Uranus' balls with the sickle given by Gaia and emasculates him. In the meantime, the dissipated sperm fall into the sea, and Aphrodite is conceived.

cronos comes to drive by ousting his dad, Uranus and is viewed as the most recent and most remarkable divine force of Olympus. However, the prescience that brings the finish of Uranus is additionally his fate. Because of the prescience given to him by Gaia and Uranus, he doesn't wed for a long time and lives alone in Olympus. Despite the fact that he is visited by his kin occasionally, he stays alone for quite a while.
Following some serious time isolation, Cronos goes gaga for his sibling Rhea. Answering this adoration, Rhea weds her sibling. Nonetheless, on account of the prescience, Kronos swallows every one of the kids brought into the world of Rhea.


Unfit to bear her youngsters being gulped when they were conceived, Rhea brought forth her last child, Zeus, whom she was pregnant, furtively from her dad and left her in a cavern. While certain sources say that Rhea furtively raised Zeus, a few sources say that Zeus was raised by a mountain goat and two pixies.

The Interesting End of Cronos

Rather than Zeus, Rhea provides her better half with a piece of stone enveloped by a wrap-up. Cronos, who doesn't actually take a gander at their countenances while gulping his conceived youngsters, doesn't see this and swallows the piece of stone. Years after the fact, while growing up, Zeus enters Olympus as his Dad's worker and gains his trust. He makes his dad drink a beverage that will make him regurgitate and make him upchuck every one of his kin he gulped. He then, at that point, pronounces battle on Cronos with his siblings. After around 10 years of this conflict, known as the Titans War, Cronos is ousted and the age of the Titans reaches a conclusion. In Olympus, which experienced its Brilliant Age during the rule of Cronos, the time of the titans closes and the period of the divine beings starts. The pattern of occasions where each father is crushed by his child goes on in this prescience from Uranus and the occasions in folklore.

At the point when the occasions in folklore are painstakingly analyzed, Cronos is more grounded than his dad and consequently overcomes his dad. Moreover, Zeus is more grounded than his dad and, very much like in past ages, he overcomes his dad and starts to lead the pack. These occasions in a folklore show us that each cognizance contains the condition of arriving at a more grounded and higher awareness and is subject to this fate.
