In Greek mythology, Cronus, Cronos, or Kronos (/ˈkroʊnəs/ or
/ˈkroÊŠnÉ's/, US: /-oÊŠs/, from Greek: ÎšÏ ÏŒÎ½Î¿Ï‚, KrónoÏ‚), was
the leader and youngest of the first generation of Titans, the divine
descendants of Uranus, the sky, and Gaia, the earth. He overthrew his
father and ruled during the mythological Golden Age, until he was
overthrown by his own son Zeus and imprisoned in Tartarus. According
to Plato, however, the deities Phorcys, Cronus, and Rhea were the
eldest children of Oceanus and Tethys.Cronus was usually depicted with
a harpe, scythe or a sickle, which was the instrument he used to
castrate and depose Uranus, his father. In Athens, on the twelfth day
of the Attic month of Hekatombaion, a festival called Kronia was held
in honour of Cronus to celebrate the harvest, suggesting that, as a
result of his association with the virtuous Golden Age, Cronus
continued to preside as a patron of the harvest. Cronus was also
identified in classical antiquity with the Roman deity Saturn. Cronus Top Movies & Young Movies
