    I just want to point out that while both Cronus and Chronos are major Greek deities, and are represented as scythe-wielding, and are both famous for fatherhood, Chronos is the one with the name "Father Time", but is not the father of Zeus, whereas Cronus is a Titan (some of the earliest powerful deities), and is the father of Zeus, Hades and Poseidon, along with a number of other major deities, making him a major patriarch, however he was slain by Zeus for his tyranny. They're extremely similar and are understandably confused with one another, but are not the same.

    • @vvventure
      @vvventure 5 лет назад +3

      It varies and it is ancient, like no one really knows it origin since before the greeks the expression was known. For the greeks it was the aegean sea, red sea, black sea, ionian sea, marmara sea, tirrenian sea (west meditearrain), east mediterrain. Like all the ones they know (adriatic, azov, ligurian, etc are include aswell). I think thats the best original explanation of why did stick around with romans, with arabs, persians, etc. For the arabs it was the seven seas (caspian, red, persian, arab, etc) to reach China, but after the greeks most uses lack any sense.

    Correction. Chronos and Cronus are different gods. Chronos is the god of time. Cronus is the god of harvest and father to most of the Olympians. Also, Atlantis refers to Poseidon's son Atlas, unrelated to the Titan.

    I'm from Uruguay and we've got a city called "Atlántida", the Spanish word for Atlantis.
    Is a seaside city, quite small (about 8k when not in tourist season).
    In the beginning of the XX century its inhabitants took a vote and chose the name.
    By the way, is on the Río de la Plata, and not on the Ocean.

Either way, yeah, you see Ethiopian sea for a really long time, weird stuff.

    The Atl, as they appear in Atlanta, Atlas, and Atlantic are also South American root words also found in names like Quetzalcoatl. The argument that humanity's roots reach much deeper into the past than we are told is likely considering not only etymological terms but in the dissemination of fruits, spices, and technology through Europe and Asia.
    Fun fact: Roman artifacts have been found in Newfoundland and other parts Canada. See the work of Robert Sephr. I may have butchered the spelling of his surname.

    • @KingOfSciliy
      @KingOfSciliy 5 лет назад +1

      Consonant changes; overtime and across languages, some consonants alter due to this transference and reinterpretation or vocal range in the languages it passes through. For the word 'Durus', d (voiced alveolar stop) can become t (voiceless alveolar stop) and r (alveolar approximate, flap, etc.) can become l (lateral alveolar approximate). Vowels are more fluid so they are more easily changed when they are unstressed. Eventually the word becomes 'Atlas'
      i.e. (aka one improbable but possible example)
      Durus -> Duras -> (d-r-s -> t-l-s) -> (A)tulas -> Atulas -> Atlas

  • @opabinnier
    @opabinnier 5 лет назад

    Yes but no: You see, Virgil was not very good with Greek- or etymology. In Greek the verb TLAN means "to work" or "endure" or "put a lot of effort in" and the privative prefix A- denotes a lack; so the adjective ATLAS means "effortless" ("not working hard"). The Titans were so old and so mighty, that it took but one of them to support the heavens... presumably without too much effort. Back to reality...admittedly, by Virgil's time the verb TLAN had been out of normal use for many centuries, being a bronze age word of pre-Greek origin. Some of the more spicy sound clusters in Greek, like TL or NTH are in fact very shadowy and archaic and always in words the Greeks adopted from the indigenous pre-Greek people whom they assimilated or displaced when they began to settle in what we think of as Greece. (Words like hyacinth, labyrinth, even Corinth... not too many examples with TL though! SM is another cluster not native to Greek, as in sminthos or Smintheus.)

    P.S. the etymology of Kronos is annoyingly uncertain; to call him "Father Time" is tempting and very satisfying, because chronos does mean time, but I just wouldn't go there myself. My reason? Well the Greeks were always so obsessively careful in their spelling of the name: always with a kappa (K) and never a chi (X). Also there is no suggestion in the literature of such an obvious link- and Greek writers loved fishing for etymologies and were notorious for simply inventing them. Technically this still proves nothing and clears nothing up, one way or the other- so I prefer to stay out of the whole mess... it's all Greek to me!
