Kronos (Clash of the Titans)

"And after these the youngest came, Kronos, crooked and sly, the cleverest of all her children and his father's enemy."

- Hesiod, Theogony, section 135

Before gods and titans existed, the primordial gods, the Protogenoi, existed. Beings which personified nature in its infancy, thse beings for a time ruled the universe. Among them were Gaia, the earth goddess, and her son, Ouranos, the first god of sky, who mated and gave rise to plants, beasts, cyclops, the Hechatonchires (fifty headed, hundred armed giants) and the Titans. Both fearful and hateful of the titans, cyclops and Hechatonchires, Ouranos threw them back into the earth after they where birthed by Gaia. Their mother sought to free them, but out of all of her children, only Cronus, akak Kronos aka the Roman Saturn, the youngest and craftiest of Titans, accepted the mission, ad with a sickle made by Gaia herself castrated Ouranos. Later he dethroned Ophion, the titan who initially took Ouranos' throne, and became the third sky god. However, a prophecy warned that one of his children would dethrone him, and Cronus swallowed his sons and daughters after they where born, save for the fifth, Zeus, who through Rhea and Gaia's trickery was spared. Zeus grew, poisoned Cronus to free his siblings, and with the cyclopses, Hechatonchires, and a few of the Titans, declared war on his father. This war, the dreadful Titanomachy, the Titans held out for ten years, but eventually succumbed. Some say it was the work of a horrid Kraken that did them in, others say Cronus was attacked by Zeus, Poseidon and Hades when he was alone and fell in combat, but whatever the case the Titans where defeated, and Cronus, deprived of control of sky and the element of time, was sent to Tartarus, the lowest of Hades' empire, where he plans his devestating, Titanic wrath...
