I agree that it is very confusing due to their names. However, primordials often are often considered the physical embodiment of something rather than just a God who has power over it. Chronos is time itself, time exists because he does. Cronus is a God who's dominion is related to time and therefore falls under that umbrella. Same goes for all other primordials and what they embody. That is why they are thought so powerful. I love your videos and the way you tell each story.
And for me to not get confuse anymore, will stick to what I know.😅 Chronos is for time (primordial) and Cronus (Titan) is for the father of Zeus and his siblings.
Antonio C That’s right, it’s the same thing for the primordial Ouranos and the god Zeus. Ouranos embodies the sky, it is what he is. Zeus has dominion over the sky.
Nyx and Chronos are two of the oldest beings in existance within Ancient Greek Religion. They may have been phased out by Zeus and the Olympians, but the Primordial Gods still hold massive authority over their respective spheres.
All primordials are old. That is why they are primordial they existed long before any God or titan. Without them the rest would not exist or have anything to be God of. Time, Night, Earth Darkness etc all exist because primordials exist. Without them the rest are nothing.
@@johnnyvibezzz6372 as stated in the video Greek ancient religion had many different branches as many religions due today. They all have their own creation theory. That's why when you see who is the parent of what God there are usually different answers. It all depends on who's perspective who is telling the story.
I sometimes wondered why Chronos was getting less publicity. Orphic Greek was a wild ride, which really clears up a lot in your video. Thank you for explaining the assimilation. 😊
Cronus holds a sickle because he is related to time on a human lifespan, meaning he is the time spent on social labour and seasonal activities. Basically he is a god of harvest hence the sickle
Good point! But it relates to his castration.....Uranus made him a Eunech. A Eunech?.....well that relates to Attis, the god jesus was invented to replace. The 'transfiguration', is the transgender/transexual 'op' .......of Attis into a Cybele.
To help distinguish between the two, it might help to remember that the Greeks had separate spellings and pronunciations for each name. Chronus is Χρόνος ("Khronos", which began with an aspirated K that by Hellenistic Greek became a voiceless velar fricative like the ch in Scottish "loch") while Cronus is Κρόνος ("Kronos")
Yes. Exact transliterations (Kronos, Khronos), conventional transliterations (Kronos, Chronos), and latinizations (Cronus, Chronus) I think the conventional transliterations would make it easier to remember as Kronos and Chronos start with different letters, although I personally use latinizations
Yes please! I've always wanted a combative and condescending explanation of mythology! /s Definitely rejecting this channel from my recommendations in the future.
Roman name of Cronus(Titan) or Chronos(Primordial) is Saturn, the owner of the 10th #Capricorn, the sea-goat & 11th #Aquarius, the water carrier zodiac sign's and exalted in 7th zodiac sign #Libra, the balance.
Hello, could you put me to where I can find information on this? I can't find anything about Chronos/Saturn and the Houses of the Zodiac that he's associated with.
You might look into how Egyptian mythology changed over the years. Many of their gods/goddesses were combined / omitted / reassigned when different cultures of the region started to merge and take up proximity to each other.
I've had thoughts about these instances of "primordial force vs titan/ god" presence conflicts. My interpretation is that certain primordial forces allowed themselves to be reborn as more tangible gods in order to maintain a foothold in the cosmic hierarchy of deities. That way the existence of Eros, the primordial force, and Eros, the child of Aphrodite, could make some sort of sense despite the narrative conflict. The same concept could be superimposed onto the Chronos/ Cronus conflict.
1) If u use Chronos, then u use Kronos. You cannot use a transliteration and then suddenly use a latinization. CONSISTENCY. 2) The existence of Eros as the child of Aphrodite was sort of made as Aphrodite merged with Venus. The Romans saw her as a motherly figure and that's why Eros became the child of Aphrodite. But they are the same, with different birth stories. Chronos and Kronos are different 3) Chronos is a little something I call orphism
Nah, this dont make sense at all. The first Eros and second Eros are clearly two distinguished beings. The first is the primordial of creation, the second is just a baby that follows his mother orders. The first Cronus is time itself, the second one is chained in Tartarus. So there is no reason for a primordial to acept a lower form. They are two different beings, just accept it.
Same with Poseidon and Pontus, one controls the seas and one is the seas. Same with Aphrodite and Eros, one controls love and one is love. My personal headcanon for Eros is that he was originally the Primordial that got turned into a baby (Cupid) by the various gods and was raised by Aphrodite as his "mother" so that the Olympians could control him.
The Eros of the Theogony is not the same Eros as Aphrodite son. The hesiod Eros is similar to Phanes, the primordial god of life. The baby Eros however is a son of Aphrodite or Aphrodite and Ares, and just obeys his mother, and is not nearly as powerful as the primordial Eros/Phanes.
@@gunjfur8633 Oceanus is the titan god of the River Ocean. The greeks believed the earth to be flat and encircled by a large river of fresh waters, there lived Oceanus and his wife Tethys and also the Oceanids. Clouds, rivers and fresh air breezes all come out from the Ocean River. Constellations rise from these waters from the underworld during the night. Beyond it, we have the land of dreams, and than the land of dead and darkness. Pontus is just the primordial sea of salty waters.
Well done sir this clears up any thought to believe intertwining stories are the same, this is very important to know during the beliefs throughout the timeline of our history. Again well done and good work.
Wikipedia actually brought up something: “During antiquity, Cronus was occasionally interpreted as Chronos, the personification of time. The Roman philosopher Cicero (1st century BCE) elaborated on this by saying that the Greek name Cronus is synonymous to chronos (time) since he maintains the course and cycles of seasons and the periods of time, whereas the Latin name Saturn denotes that he is saturated with years since he was devouring his sons, which implies that time devours the ages and gorges.” So by technicality, Cronus has some power over time. Maybe not as much as Chronos, but still has dominion over it. Kind of like how Ouranos is the sky and Zeus has dominion over the sky. It’s complicated, I know, but considering that Greek demigods are related to certain animals and we are walking on Gaia’s body, it’s not that bad.
This has odly brought a kind of understanding o me in regards of gods with the same name, primordial and not. I often racked my brain about this whenever i stumbled across such cases but never really got to read an explanation. Thanks. Truly.
There is very recent God of time, Photomecus , he is the god of fluid time, time as perception and man's control over time. For example, daylight savings time is the work of Photomecus, because man created the change in hours thus control over time flow
I never knew their were two deities with the same name and different versions of the two. Very interesting. Nice work. Yes a little confusing but not too much.
As some one who loves Mythology, I must say I love your videos becsue your research is very good and very accurate. You do not deal in abosultes saying there is one story to follow, but different versions of it. When you give us Myths I am not familiar with I can rest assured there was a well done reasearch on it. Now this video about Cronus is very well done, but remember his brother Kairos. While Cronus was the god of quantitative time, Kairos was god of qualitative time. I will leave the rest to you since I think it is an interesting Topic for another video.
I did not know there was a civilization before ancient greek. Learn something new everyday. Can you maybe do a video cover of the Mycenaean pantheons? Would love to learn more about possibly the oldest version of these myths
When you were talking about the primordial Cronos, I found the description interesting. In Rev 4:7, there are 4 beasts that continually bow down before God and 3 of the 4 are one that looks like a calf (bull), one like a lion, and one like a man.
Whenever I see something / someone that reminds me of a character from the game "God Of War", I click on it right away and save the videos. I love them videos. Thank you so much. 🥰 😍 😘
Out with the old in with the new / understand the cosmic shuffle then you will see the replacement and chances as " this will always be." love from Aquarius ♒️ and AOA lights. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story the Greek had great knowings, understanding and knowledge about the heavens marvelous currents. Love and light
Never heard of the separate Chronos and Chronus nor did I ever hear of Poseidon being the head. Love to hear of the different versions separate and in order of.. phases?
I took a Greek Literature class and my professor went over the various myths of creation while we were reading The Birds and I can see where the confusion comes from.
Could you possibly do a video on the influence of japanese and middle eastern mythology on pieces of media like Ninjago and Mortal kombat? I think that it would make a really interesting video.
Many have expounded on the 'nature of personal reality'. It must always include the immediate reality which informs the writer who records his/her understandind. Aware or not of this influence, our individual understanding is always 'perfect' for the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
I'm interested in the negative associations of Chronos with chaos and decay, was not surprised to hear he was once a three headed serpent. Seems if you go back far enough a lot of deities were serpents/dragons/'leviathans.' Usually dwelling in some kind of cosmic sea.
I agree. Most of my life I've studied mythology and legends . As I got older. I found that there different myths from different regions and time. Which can be confusing. Especially when you read about the Romans myths. Heros become villains , villains become heros or not so bad. But you find that in most myths around the world. Complicated but interesting. Good vid.👍
It's still important to try and find the original sources because Zeus defeating Cronus means something different than Zeus the sky god defeating Cronus the god of agriculture or the god of time.
Cronus was the god of the skies, why people forgets this? Ouranos was sky itself, then Cronus defeats him and becomes the ruler of the sky, and then estabilishes the weather, movements of stars and other heavenly cycles (this is why he is the god of time too). Then Zeus appears, defeats his father and assumes the Sky, the weather, the movement of stars AND the lighting and thunder (these two things Cronus did not have). But Cronus was a sky god, so ir make sense for Zeus to defeat him to rule the sky.
Hello, we have never talked before. Being a huge fan of mythology and fiction (e.g. Tolkien, Rick Riordan, Terry Pratchett, Lovecraft), I find your channel awesome and interesting. What makes me happy is that you do the research and most of what you say is a true fact (well, as true as mythology can be). However, there are a handful of mistakes; for example you say that Typhon is pure evil incarnate (like Satan/Lucifer and Apep/Apophis) when he is actually Gaia's wrath and her revenge on the Olympians for being huge jerks, basically he's a destructive natural disaster/calamity (also ironically he was a loving faithful husband and father, unlike Zeus). Anywho, obviously I have several ideas and requests for future videos. My 2 most wanted episodes are about the Egyptian god Set/Seth/Sutekh/Setesh (fun fact: he was recently added to ''Smite'') and about the Zoroastrian/Persian god brothers Ahura Mazda and Ahriman. It would make me very happy if you release one of these episodes on my birthday (August 12). Do your best when making these. BTW, it would be interesting if you can one day make a special video about the ''Crossover Cosmology'' trope (several/all mythologies and pantheons coexisting in the same universe/work of fiction), analyzing it and sharing your view of how this could work; and perhaps talk about the franchises that use this concept (''Age of Mythology'', ''Smite'', ''Percy Jackson'', ''Highschool DxD'', Disney's ''Gargoyles'', ''World of Warcraft'', ''Shin Megami Tensei/Persona'', ''Tomb Raider'' and many others). Good luck and best of wishes.
Typhon is not a caring husband. In Dionysiaca, he spoke the things he will do if the assumes power, and one of it is to make Hera is wife just to humiliate Zeus.
Well done. A fairly unknown Myth states this. Chronos is Time eternal, Cronos/Kronos is the Effect of Time. With the birth of Thanos, things began to wither and die in their due time
Just goes to show what happens when you play mythology telephone. Stories get spun and ideas change and morph. That's why you have similar themes and ideals in just about every mythology
So, I read Orphism and.. the dieties are unbelievably overpowered. I mean- I always thought "oh? The strongest version of Zeus? Pfft- I don't think you can really go above multiversal Zeus" right, greek mythology has a multiverse. But like- this one guy is omnipotent or Omnipotent+ and this other guy has an M-body who is multiversal+ and embodies the universe. And then Zeus casually turned the titans to ash when they killed his son instead of having a full blown war with them. I just can't. This one guy gave Gaia such a beat down that he pitied her afterwards and I just thought.. "why??"
I’m writing a book with Chronos in it, and i explain it as two different figures (Chronos and Cronos) who merge into one so often they’re just merged into one dude because belief. It’ll make dialogue so much fun!!
Gunjα Fury That’s cool, but i would recommend in the future you phrase it a bit differently (maybe try using sentences?) so you seem less like a “douche”.
I know this video it’s quite old..but Could you make a video of Helios and Apollo..unless you already have and I haven’t found it just yet..Dig the videos though very knowledgeable.
Don't worry my friend I completely understand what your explaining. Religion and stories evolve and change as they are passed down especially when the stories are orally passed down instead of written down.
Is the version where Chaos was the first primordial deity, Eros was also considered one of the first primordial deity, and thus having influence over Gaea and the creation of all that's beautiful on earth and her LOVE for all her children. The most reasonable version claims that he was a close companion to Aphrodite while she grew up and later on he was perhaps mistaken as her offspring, since he was mostly depicted as a childlike personification. So the story of Eros and Psyche doesn't have to be dismissed at all, with one exception only that Aphrodite was not his mother, but rather a companion for whom he held great admiration.
@Thoth Moses Well, if Africa is the cradle of humankind, it's no surprise if the gods are black. However, I didn't know that melanin was a conductor of electricity.
William Julien Nkoghe Olympio Yup. But angel means messenger. In traditions like the Orishas they are emissaries of Olodumare, the Divine cosmic Force. Orishas are also representative of forces of nature and energies that are cultivated within
Viewers: So there’s two different Cronus’?
Myth&Fiction: Well yes, but also no.
Tom Sawyer Piper Wow
Tom Sawyer Piper * Well yes , but ACTUALLY no 😂
"Nes"
You got the chronology all wrong
Kronos is the Crown of Life. The Corona. The grim reaper. Carpe diem means just that, reap the day.
Simple, Cronus is the Titan Lord of Time, specifically destructive time and the time of harvest. Chronos is the primordial essence of time itself
Valentine Erindros speech 100
I thought that it was spelt Kronos.
Jackal Reviews potato, potatoe. Same principle
+Jackal Reviews, don't forget words translated from Greek that begin with a "K" became a "C" when latinised.
Jackal Reviews although, “Kronos” is a lot more accurate to the original Ancient Greek spelling “Κρονος” than “Cronus” is, but still

This is what I call fan service due to the fact u did already know bout both tales of time aswell as break down it’s good for fans who didn’t
Ya'll here confused over a name. I'm confused if Cronus held a scythe or sickle.
A sickle.
Cronus has a sickle, while Thanatos has a scythe?
Cronus holds a sickle because he is related to time on a human lifespan, meaning he is the time spent on social labour and seasonal activities. Basically he is a god of harvest hence the sickle
Good point! But it relates to his castration.....Uranus made him a Eunech. A Eunech?.....well that relates to Attis, the god jesus was invented to replace. The 'transfiguration', is the transgender/transexual 'op' .......of Attis into a Cybele.
Cromwell Castaneda 😂
I use the spelling, "Kronos" for the titan and "Chronos" for the primordial to help distinguish.
To help distinguish between the two, it might help to remember that the Greeks had separate spellings and pronunciations for each name. Chronus is Χρόνος ("Khronos", which began with an aspirated K that by Hellenistic Greek became a voiceless velar fricative like the ch in Scottish "loch") while Cronus is Κρόνος ("Kronos")
Yes.
Exact transliterations (Kronos, Khronos), conventional transliterations (Kronos, Chronos), and latinizations (Cronus, Chronus)

I subbed instantly the moment that we start talking about mythology
I've had thoughts about these instances of "primordial force vs titan/ god" presence conflicts.
My interpretation is that certain primordial forces allowed themselves to be reborn as more tangible gods in order to maintain a foothold in the cosmic hierarchy of deities. That way the existence of Eros, the primordial force, and Eros, the child of Aphrodite, could make some sort of sense despite the narrative conflict.
The same concept could be superimposed onto the Chronos/ Cronus conflict.

BTW, it would be interesting if you can one day make a special video about the ''Crossover Cosmology'' trope (several/all mythologies and pantheons coexisting in the same universe/work of fiction), analyzing it and sharing your view of how this could work; and perhaps talk about the franchises that use this concept (''Age of Mythology'', ''Smite'', ''Percy Jackson'', ''Highschool DxD'', Disney's ''Gargoyles'', ''World of Warcraft'', ''Shin Megami Tensei/Persona'', ''Tomb Raider'' and many others). Good luck and best of wishes.
Typhon is not a caring husband. In Dionysiaca, he spoke the things he will do if the assumes power, and one of it is to make Hera is wife just to humiliate Zeus.
I think I get it.
Cronus is the God of Time. And Chronos is the reason why there is time.
Right?
Something like that. It’s like Zeus and Ouranos. Zeus is the god of the sky, Ouranos is the sky (since primordials are literally what they represent).
you're awesome, thanks for the vid
Just found your channel. Loved it. Guess I am staying
Well done. A fairly unknown Myth states this. Chronos is Time eternal, Cronos/Kronos is the Effect of Time. With the birth of Thanos, things began to wither and die in their due time
U mean Thanatos right? I'm sorry if u think I'm a jerk for correcting u but better separate Myth from Marvel CU.
Love the Skyrim music in the background
*_I guess one could say it takes a lot of 'Time' to study Greek stuff & Mythology..._*
Ehs?
Cronus: *exists*
Thanos: Now is no time at all *Kills Cronus*
Chronos: weeeeeell
Good video
I was just thinking of how much the beginning reminded me of Skyrim, and then Secunda starts playing 😍😩
I love the ending "I don't even know anymore" 😅
This video took a while to come out “wellll its about time”
I totally agree with you now❄️😎!
I’m living for the Skyrim music 💖💖
Just goes to show what happens when you play mythology telephone. Stories get spun and ideas change and morph. That's why you have similar themes and ideals in just about every mythology
Many myth ARE related, such as the Indo-Europeans
Finally one about the king of kings.
Chronos is time it self while Cronus or Kronos is a Titan of destructive time
You've explained it well.
Do a vid on Aion
So, I read Orphism and.. the dieties are unbelievably overpowered. I mean- I always thought "oh? The strongest version of Zeus? Pfft- I don't think you can really go above multiversal Zeus" right, greek mythology has a multiverse.
But like- this one guy is omnipotent or Omnipotent+ and this other guy has an M-body who is multiversal+ and embodies the universe. And then Zeus casually turned the titans to ash when they killed his son instead of having a full blown war with them. I just can't. This one guy gave Gaia such a beat down that he pitied her afterwards and I just thought.. "why??"
I’m writing a book with Chronos in it, and i explain it as two different figures (Chronos and Cronos) who merge into one so often they’re just merged into one dude because belief. It’ll make dialogue so much fun!!
*Cron-os
"-us" is a Latin word ending, not Greek
Cronos probably means "cutter"
&
Chronos means "time"
Gunjα Fury That’s cool, but i would recommend in the future you phrase it a bit differently (maybe try using sentences?) so you seem less like a “douche”.
That was informative
Cool video mate. Peace
I know this video it’s quite old..but Could you make a video of Helios and Apollo..unless you already have and I haven’t found it just yet..Dig the videos though very knowledgeable.
Oh I know this! short answer is both. One is the father of the Zeus, the other is an eldergod, not even a titan, more like Gaea in status
Informative
the skyrim song makes this video have that chill vibe
Don't worry my friend I completely understand what your explaining. Religion and stories evolve and change as they are passed down especially when the stories are orally passed down instead of written down.
Is the version where Chaos was the first primordial deity, Eros was also considered one of the first primordial deity, and thus having influence over Gaea and the creation of all that's beautiful on earth and her LOVE for all her children. The most reasonable version claims that he was a close companion to Aphrodite while she grew up and later on he was perhaps mistaken as her offspring, since he was mostly depicted as a childlike personification. So the story of Eros and Psyche doesn't have to be dismissed at all, with one exception only that Aphrodite was not his mother, but rather a companion for whom he held great admiration.
Like you've said, there's a bunch of gods and goddesses very similar to one another. A mess.
Thoth Moses
No. They’re not people. They represent forces of nature and Existence given human form
The gods and other divinities in the Greek pantheon are more representations or natural forces and humans emotions. Not angels.
@Thoth Moses Well, if Africa is the cradle of humankind, it's no surprise if the gods are black. However, I didn't know that melanin was a conductor of electricity.
William Julien Nkoghe Olympio
Yup. But angel means messenger. In traditions like the Orishas they are emissaries of Olodumare, the Divine cosmic Force. Orishas are also representative of forces of nature and energies that are cultivated within
