Description
Chronos is in Greek mythology the personification of time, which just like he creates in order to later destroy his own work.

It symbolizes the passage of time and also the lifetime.

Mythology

Chronos comes from the myths of the Orphics, an ancient religious movement in Greece, southern Italy and the Black Sea coast (approx. From the 6th / 5th century BC).

Accordingly, he himself emerged from the dark chaos and, as the creator god, created the silver world egg from the aether.

From this, in turn, the light god Phanes, especially revered by the Orphics, arose,

who was identified with Helios, but also with Eros and Dionysus.

Chronos is considered to be the founder of the golden age that continues on the island of the blessed, to which he was banished by Zeus.

Chronos and Kronos

Some ancient sources equate Chronos with Kronos, the father of Zeus. This is a folk etymology,

the two gods originally had nothing to do with each other. The Kronos myth probably comes from a proto-Greek,

pre-archaic tradition (late 3rd millennium BC to 8th century BC).
