Talk:Cronus

Saturn separated out from Cronos

Saturn and Cronos were often identified -- incorrectly -- in antiquity. I have moved the Saturn content (which is admittedly incomplete) to its own article, where I discuss the problem with this identification. Macrakis 17:09, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

That Which Spilled

The word "blood" is never actually used in the greek myth, and "that which spilled" is translated in some myths to be blood, and others to be sperm (falling from the severed penis). Also, that which was severed, as opposed to testicles. The myth says "Cronus set upon him to castrate him" and "that which was severed" could mean the penis, the testicles, or both. Also, as for Tartarus being Gaia's bowls, this is often construed, but never directly stated outside of Christian representations of the myth to my knowledge.

If we are talking about the creation of Aphrodite blood was not involved but the Furies, Giants, and Meliai were born of the drops of blood falling from Kronos' severed genitals as they were thrown into the sea. Aphrotide rose from "a white foam of god-flesh" that gathered around the floating genitals. --Gordon

Not Quiete Greek Mythology But Im Not Sure What The Title Should Be To Change It Back

KILL Uranus?

In the article, it says that Gaia gathered the Titans to KILL Uranus, but according to many of the articles I read, Uranus is immortal, I thought the myth was the Gaia planned for Cronus to slash Uranus' neck with the sickle, and once he does so, Uranus feels the pain and just knowing he has been beaten makes him feel defeated (call it whatever you want to call it) and so he hands over the throne to Cronus! It should be changed androo123 16:59, 12 September 2007 (EDT).

son AND half sibling of uranus doesnt make sense??

i can find no other references that say uranus and cronus were half siblings.. i cant think of an incestuous pairing that might yield this result.. the only siblings uranus has listed are pontus and ourea.. and it doesnt make any sense, son amd half brother or father and half brother.. neither of those make a livk of sense.. if someone cares to explain, please let me know, otherwise i may remove the half sibling relationship.

It's reference to how the mother of Uranus and Cronus is Gaia, the ancestral mother. Uranus, Pontus and the Ourea were one brood of Gaia, whom she produced parthenogenically, and Cronus and the other Titans were another brood who were sired by Uranus when he was still Gaia's consort.
