| Let us now examine the myth of Cronus, and the explanations which have been given by scholars. |
| Cronus is a more than usually troublesome crux to the etymologists. |
| After Cronus was born, Gaia and Uranus decreed no more Titans were to be born. |
| Cronus used a sickle to castrate his father Uranus, and he is often portrayed throughout literature as having a long beard. |
| We shall apply the same explanation to the Greek myth of Gaea and of the mutilation of Cronus. |
| The stone which Cronus swallowed in mistake for Zeus was honoured at Delphi, and kept warm with wool wrappings. |
