Introduction

Background
• Cronus was married to Rhea, Mother of the gods, and was the
father of the Zeus, King of Gods, and 5 more children by Rhea.
(Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus.)
• Cronus Story of origin is when his father did not like his Cyclops
offspring so he forced his wife to return them to the womb. This
caused is wife much pain and anger, so she sought to get
revenge. She called upon the Titans to help her, and her
youngest sun then cut off his fathers genitals and threw them
into the sea, thus creating Aphrodite.
Claim to Fame
• Cronus’ claim to fame is how he would each of his children
after they were born. His prophecy stated that one of his
children will grow up to overthrow him, just like what
happened to his father, so to prevent that he ate each one.
When his wife Rhea gave birth to her last son, Zeus, She
disguised a rock in a baby blanket and tricked Cronus into
eating that instead of her child. She sent him to Crete's to be
raised by nymphs.
• His enemies were Apollo and Zeus. He had no allies.
• He possessed great strength and stamina.
Downfall
• Cronus swallowed his grandson Kratos, who
then sliced his way out his stomach spilling
out all of his intestines. He then used Cronus’
shackles to impale him in the jaw, and stab his
forehead. Cronus’ then slowly collapsed and
died.
Tales
• Cronus appeared in the video game God of
War III and God of War I. The movie Cronos
