Cronus was a powerful figure in ancient Greek mythology—the youngest of the Titans who overthrew his father Uranus to rule during a legendary golden age, only to be later defeated and imprisoned by his own son Zeus. He matters because his story was central to how ancient Greeks understood the origins of their gods and the natural order of the cosmos, illustrating themes of generational conflict and the rise and fall of divine power.

Cronos (em grego: Κρόνος, transl.: Krónos), na mitologia grega, deus do tempo e rei dos titãs. É o mais jovem dos titãs, filho de Urano, o céu estrelado, e Gaia, a terra. Alternativamente, para Platão, os deuses Fórcis, Cronos e Reia eram os filhos mais velhos de Oceano e Tétis. Cronos era o deus do tempo, sobretudo quando visto em seu aspecto destrutivo, o tempo inexpugnável que rege os destinos e a tudo pode devorar. O titã Cronos serviu de inspiração para a antiga seita órfica criar a figura de Chronos, a quem chamavam de o "deus primordial do tempo". Vale ressaltar que o modo de vida dos órficos causava grande estranheza entre os gregos e a nova teogonia criada por eles era, da mesma forma, repudiada pelo culto cívico e popular das póleis gregas. O que quer dizer que, para os gregos comuns, o titã Cronos (e somente ele) era o deus do tempo por excelência. Cronos era, usualmente, representado com uma harpe, gadanha ou foice, com a qual teria castrado e deposto Urano, seu pai. Em Atenas, no 12.º dia do mês ático de Hecatombaion, era celebrado o festival de Kronia, em honra a Cronos.
