Cronus is the king of the second generation gods in ancient Greek mythology. He was originally the son of Uranus and Gaia, the first generation gods, and the youngest of the Titan's twelve gods. People usually think that he is the god of time in ancient Greece.

After overthrowing the brutal rule of his father Uranus, Cronus led the golden age in Greek mythology until he was overthrown by his son Zeus. He and other Titan gods were mostly imprisoned in Tal talos in hell.

Roman mythology and Greek mythology are different systems. Cronus's counterpart in Rome is Saturn, the god of agriculture in Roman mythology.

Gaia made Uranus the king of the gods for a long time. Uranus became more and more authoritative, exercised complete dictatorship, gradually became rude and willful, and even had little respect for Gaia. What Uranus did finally aroused Gaia's strong dissatisfaction. She decided to get rid of Uranus and establish a new king.

Gaia used black rocks from the deepest part of the earth as raw materials, which made Sekros build a very hard and sharp sickle. However, as a mother and wife, she can't bear to do it herself. She summoned her son of Titan, hoping that someone could assassinate Uranus. Everyone was silent, and no one dared to leave. Gaia was furious and denounced these timid sons, saying that the assassin could inherit his throne. Finally, the youngest son Cronus agreed to give it a try.

One night, Gaia prepared a sumptuous dinner and got Uranus drunk. After he fell asleep, Cronus came with a sickle and cut off his father's genitals with one knife. At this time, Uranus opened his eyes and cursed angrily: "You will pay for what you have done. Soon, you will be overthrown by your own son like me. " ?

Say that finish, then return to the sky, and never return to the ground (Uranus is the god of the sky, the ontology of the sky, and death is nothing in the future world). From his blood, three revenge sisters, many terrible giants and three beautiful eucalyptus fairies were born. From the foam splashing from the sea, his genitals gave birth to Aphrodite, the god of love. Cronus naturally became the second God King, which was called "sickle taking position" in history.

Cronus knew the strength of his cyclops and his brothers, and thought their existence was a potential threat to his throne. Therefore, Cronus set a poisonous trap to catch them and imprisoned them in Tal talos (creator of hell).

After that, he still couldn't feel at ease, because his father's curse before he died kept ringing in his ears: "You will be overthrown by my own son." In order to avoid this curse, Cronus made a cruel decision: eat all the born children.
