Cronus

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Cronus, Cronos, or Kronos ( or ; Ancient Greek: Κρόνος) was the leader and youngest of the Titans, the children of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky). He overthrew his father and ruled during the mythological Golden Age until he was overthrown by his son Zeus and imprisoned in Tartarus. According to Plato, however, Cronus, along with the deities Phorcys and Rhea, were the eldest children of Oceanus and Tethys. Cronus was usually depicted with a harpe, scythe, or sickle, which was the instrument he used to castrate and depose Uranus, his father.
