KRONOS




Kronos is the titan god of time as it affects human lives. He is the lord of all the titans. Only Gaia his mother can control him but only just.Kronos called his age of ruling the Golden Age. That is definitely a misnomer as the humans were sort of slaves. He married his sister Rhea and she gave birth to the Greek gods such as Zeus,Posiedon and Hades. He ate them as they were born so that they did not overthrow him as he had done to his father the sky. One survived that Rhea named Zeus, she fed him a rock instead and Zeus grew up to be a healthy youth. Rhea fed Kronos a thing that made him sick up the gods. They freed the Cyclopes from Tartarus and prepared for war. The cyclops made Zeus a thunderbolt, Poseidon a trident and Hades a helmet that made him invisble. There was many battles but eventually the gods triumphed and chopped him up with his own sickle and threw him into Tartarus.Zeus became god of the sky,Poseidon the sea and Hades the underworld.

Kronos doesn't seem like a particularly friendly guy!! What's the attraction?
