Cronus

Father-Devourer — King of the Titans

Cronus is a Greek titan of time, associated with the realm of earth. Cronus belongs to the titan generation of the pantheon. Roughly equivalent to Saturn in cross-pantheon mapping. Symbolised by the scythe.

Historical Note

Cronus swallowed each of his children at birth, fearing a prophecy. His wife Rhea tricked him with a stone wrapped in cloth for Zeus — who later made Cronus regurgitate his siblings.
