Cronus’s functions were connected with agriculture; in Attica his festival, the Kronia, celebrated the harvest and resembled the Saturnalia. In art he was depicted as an old man holding an implement, probably originally a sickle but interpreted as a harpē, or curved sword.

In Greek mythology Cronus was the son of Uranus (Heaven) and Gaea (Earth), being the .

Uranus, in Greek mythology, the personification of heaven. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, Gaea (Earth), emerging from primeval Chaos, produced Uranus, the Mountains, and the Sea. From Gaea’s subsequent union with Uranus were born the Titans, the Cyclopes, and the Hecatoncheires.

Uranus hated his offspring and hid them in Gaea’s body. She appealed to them for vengeance, but Cronus (a Titan) alone responded. With the harpē (a scimitar) he removed Uranus’ testicles as he approached Gaea. From the drops of Uranus’ blood that fell on her were born the Furies, the Giants, and the Meliai (ash-tree nymphs).

Chaos, ( Greek: “Abyss”) in early Greek cosmology, either the primeval emptiness of the universe before things came into being or the abyss of Tartarus, the underworld. Both concepts occur in the Theogony of Hesiod. First there was Chaos in Hesiod’s system, then Gaea and Eros (Earth and Desire). Chaos, however, did not generate Gaea; the offspring of Chaos were Erebus (Darkness) and Nyx. Nyx begat Aether, the bright upper air, and Day. Nyx later begat the dark and dreadful aspects of the universe (e.g., Dreams, Death, War, and Famine). This concept tied in with the other early notion that saw
