Kronos is the Titan God of Measurable Time (as opposed to Chronos, who is Eternity, Immeasurable Time). He is the Youngest Titan son of Gaia and Ouranus, father of the Elder Olympians. In Orphic philosophy, He represents a progression of the flow of Divine Aethir, from Phanes, to Nyx, Ouranus, then from Kronos through to Zeus and finally Dionysos. The Generative power is passed from Ouranus to Kronos to Zeus, symbolised by Kronos castrating His father Ouranus, and in turn being castrated by Zeus, who then takes the rod of Kingship and recreates the world. Kronos rules over the Golden Age of Heroes.
