Feet Holds Ruler Saturn Scythe Symbols Titan Uranus Zeus Dethroned Kronos Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Kronos, the enigmatic Titan who once ruled the world as the father of the gods, seated in contemplative repose. Kronos is shown here with his iconic features: a long, flowing beard, piercing eyes, and a muscular, aged physique. He wears a classical robe, adorned with intricate patterns and folds, adding to his regal appearance. In one hand, Kronos holds the enigmatic symbol of the uroborus, an ancient representation of time and the cyclical nature of existence. The uroboros, a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail, symbolizes the eternal return and the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. This powerful symbol underscores Kronos' role as the personification of time. At his feet lies the scythe, a weapon associated with the harvest and the passage of time. Kronos used this weapon to dethrone his own father, Uranus, and usurp the throne as the ruler of the world. However, his reign was short-lived, as he was eventually overthrown by his own son, Zeus. This historical image offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of classical mythology, where gods and goddesses, kings and queens, and the very fabric of the universe are intertwined in a complex web of relationships and symbolism. The print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of myth and the timeless stories that have shaped human culture for centuries.
