What was Kronos' power in Greek mythology?

Answer 1

Kronos (or Cronus) was the titan of time. From his name you can get words like 'chronological'. He killed his father and heard a prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him. To prevent this he ate all of his children except Zeus . Zeus was saved by his mother who gave Kronos a rock to eat instead. When Zeus was older he gave his father a mixture of mustard and wine and Kronos threw up his children who had been growing up within him. Being gods they were imortal so they continued to live inside him without getting digested. Then they had a war and the children won and took their place as the 12 Olympians. The Big Three, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, chopped up Kronos with a scimitar and put him in the Pit of Tartarous in the under world and the Big Three got the underworld, sky, and sea.

The gods do not know who will ruled the sky sea or hell. Zeus decided to pick a stick the one who pick the long stick rule sky, the middle stick ruled sea, and the smaller stick rule hell. Of course Zeus got the long stick, Poseidon got the middle stick and Hades got the smallest stick.

Cronos (called Saturn by the Romans), the last born to Gaia, takes revenge upon Ouranos, who hates all his children with a vengeance. With a sickle, given to him by Gaia he attacks his father and castrates him. Cronos throws the severed genitals into the sea, and from the foam Aphrodite was born. Cronos cast his brothers and sisters in the Tartaros, except for Rhea, who he took for his wife. The children of the Titans he mostly ignored, especially those he though useful, like Helios and Atlas, whom he told to hold up the sky. Cronos, now got a little nervous that one day one of his children would do the same to him, so decided to devour each and every one of them. Rhea, his sister and wife, contrived to hide one of them. Instead of feeding thing Cronos the baby, she feeds him a stone. Zeus is hidden on the isle of Crete, where he's fed by nymphs and his guards protect him from being found or heard. From Crete he returns to overthrow Cronos. Together with his mother Rhea, Zeus conspires to feed Cronos a nasty dose of medicine, that makes him so sick, he throws up. First the stone, which can still be found at Delphi and then his older children, Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon. These had grown inside their father and qucikly followed Zeus their brother down to Earth. Zeus and Cronos fought for 10 years. Prometheus first fought on Cronos side, but Cronos did not heed his advice to set free his brothers and sisters, the Titans. Zeus welcomed him and set free the Cyclops, who thanked him and give Zeus Lightning and Thunder. To Hades they give the Helm of Invisibility and Poseidon was gifted with a trident. Next Zeus liberated the Hundred-handed monsters, who could throw one hundred rocks at Cronos in one throw.
