Cronus
Generation IV · King of the Titans · The Titans
Kingship of the old order, the harvest
Youngest and boldest of the twelve, the crooked-counselled Titan who took the adamantine sickle from his mother's hand and gelded his father Uranus to seize the sky. Warned that his own child would unseat him, he swallowed each newborn whole, until Rhea fed him a stone wrapped in swaddling and hid the infant Zeus in Crete. Forced at last to disgorge his children, he lost the ten-year war that followed and passed into legend as lord of a vanished Golden Age.
One of 53 people of The Titans in this archive. Kronos and his kin, who ruled until their own children threw them down.
