Saturn was the Roman equivalent of Cronus.
Saturn is a Roman god, the equivalent of Greek god Cronus. He is associated with the harvest, justice, and strength, and his symbol is the sickle. Keep in mind, of course, that the Romans merely took the Grecian gods and renamed them (this was in order to keep the peace when they took over Greece--and also because their own gods were a bit lacking). So the Roman gods technically are the Greek gods...just called by a different name.

Saturn is named for the Roman god of the Harvest and father of the Olympians. His Greek counterpart was Kronos, with whom the Greeks associated the planet in the night sky, hence the name.
