What is the meaning of the greek root chronos?

Chronos is the greek titan who gave birth to the gods of the greek religion. After his partner, Rea (Ρέα in greek), gave birth to the gods, Chronos would consume them in fear that they would overthrow him. Zues, the youngest of the gods, was hidden from Chronos on an island where he was kept hidden by numerous mythical creatures until he was powerful enough to defeat Chronos. Zues freed his fellow gods by cutting open the stomach of Chronos. Together, the gods defeated Chronos and cut him into many pieces where they are kept separated for it is said if the pieces were to come together he would be too powerful to defeat. ********* Is it Cronos or chronos? For Cronos (Κρόνος in greek, the equivalent god of the roman Saturnus) see the answer above, but if it is chronos (Xρόνος in greek/prounanciation=khronos) then the meaning is "time".


Who is the male greek god of earth or terra?

First of all, Terra is a Latin word, not Greek. Second, as far as I know there was no male god for the Earth. There was Gaia, who married Chronos and bore a bunch of the Olympians, including Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, and Hades.


What is special about Cronus?

Not to be confused with Chronos, (the greek god who was the personification of time), Cronus or Kronos was the head of the youngest of the first generation of Titans.
