Kronos, Cronus or Kronos (Greek)
Saturn (Roman)
Ea
Cronos (also spelled Cronus or Kronos) is a significant figure in Greek mythology.
Cronos is most famously known for:
Cronos was eventually overthrown by his youngest son, Zeus, who had been hidden by Cronos' wife, Rhea.
Zeus forced Cronos to regurgitate his swallowed children and led the Olympians in a war (Titanomachy) against the Titans, which resulted in Cronos' defeat and imprisonment in Tartarus.
Roman EquivalentIn Roman mythology, Cronos is often associated with Saturn, a god of wealth, abundance, and time.
Saturn's mythology diverges somewhat, emphasizing a golden age of prosperity during his rule.
In his time happened a great Deluge, the history of which is thus described: The Deity, Cronos, appeared to him in a vision, and warned him that upon the fifteenth day of the month Daesius, there would be a flood, by which mankind would be destroyed.
The deity Kronos, being referred to as "El" is a topic that stems from some interpretations of ancient Phoenician and broader Canaanite mythology, often derived from works by ancient historians like Philo of Byblos or Sanchuniathon, as well as interpretations of inscriptions and texts that have been uncovered in the Levant region.
According to Philo, Kronos was a Phoenician deity who was also called El.
In the fragments of his work that survive through later authors, Kronos is equated with the Semitic El, a chief deity of the Canaanite and Phoenician pantheon.
In these texts, Kronos is described as a deity who performed sacrifices, founded cities, and had a connection to Phoenician myth and ritual practices that link him to the concept of "El."
Eusebius' references to Philo of Byblos include mentions of El/Kronos sacrificing his own son, which has parallels to Phoenician religious rituals.
While there are not many inscriptions that directly refer to Kronos by name in Phoenician texts, there are several that mention El, who is understood as the chief god and father of the gods in the Canaanite and Phoenician religious hierarchy.
Carthaginian inscriptions also indicate the worship of Baal Hammon, who was syncretized with Kronos by later Greeks and Romans.
In Carthage, Kronos was identified as the god who received child sacrifices, a practice that is confirmed by archaeological findings in the Tophet.
This association helps explain how Kronos came to be identified with older Semitic deities such as El.
In later Classical and Rabbinic texts, there are allusions that equate Kronos with Canaanite gods.
This has contributed to the idea that Kronos could be viewed through the lens of the Semitic El, who was sometimes also called "El Elyon" or "God Most High."
Philo of Byblos: Through the fragments preserved by Eusebius, Philo equates Kronos with El and details rituals and myths that align Kronos with Phoenician and Canaanite traditions.
Eusebius of Caesarea: Preserves Philo's texts and adds a layer of Hellenistic interpretation, equating Kronos with El.
Carthaginian Inscriptions: Suggest a syncretism between Kronos and Baal Hammon, emphasizing sacrificial rituals.
These sources collectively help scholars draw the connection between Kronos, El, and the name Israel in the context of ancient Levantine mythology and culture, though direct evidence specifically referring to Kronos as "Israel" is rare and more a matter of interpretive connection through mythological syncretism.
In specific Phoenician texts, the deity Kronos was referred to as “El.” Kronos was a significant deity in Phoenician mythology. The Greeks equated Kronos with their Titan, who ruled before Zeus, while the Romans later called him Saturn.
The connection of Kronos to biblical Jacob (Israel) as suggested by Phoenician tradition is an intriguing aspect of comparative mythology that hints at the syncretism and reinterpretation of ancient deities across different cultures.
In Phoenician mythology, Kronos was a significant deity.
The Greeks equated Kronos with their Titan who ruled before Zeus, while the Romans later called him Saturn.
Kronos in Phoenician tradition, as described by Philo of Byblos (a 1st-century AD Phoenician historian whose works largely come from Sanchuniathon’s now-lost writings), was a father figure akin to the ruling deity over the world during a primordial time, just as he was in Greek tradition.
In certain Phoenician texts, the deity Kronos was referred to as “El” or "Israel." This association likely comes from an ancient reinterpretation of figures and their roles in myth.
It suggests that the Phoenicians saw a parallel between their god Kronos and the biblical patriarch Jacob/Israel, particularly in terms of authority and the foundational role they played for their respective people.
Kronos was the ruler of a bygone era, much like how Jacob/Israel was the patriarch of the Israelites.
This conceptual similarity—being a progenitor or "father figure" of an era or people—may have led to the Phoenician association of Kronos with Israel.
Kronos, as a figure of authority before the Olympians, mirrors Jacob's role as a central patriarch before the establishment of the Israelite nation in Canaan.
Both figures embody the theme of transition—Kronos being overthrown by Zeus, and Jacob fathering the 12 tribes who would form the Israelite identity.
According to his accounts, Kronos (whom he called “El” or occasionally “Israel”) was seen as having established foundational principles, similar to Jacob/Israel’s role in the Hebrew Bible as the father of the tribes.
Philo's writings indicate that Kronos was also associated with a form of sacrifice.
The willingness of patriarchs in the Bible to make sacrifices to establish a covenant with God could have resonated with the Phoenician understanding of Kronos’ sacrificial elements, thus facilitating this equation.
The equation of Kronos with Israel could be seen as an attempt to reconcile and reinterpret myths as Mediterranean cultures came into contact with each other.
Shared Archetypes: Jacob as the patriarch of the tribes of Israel and Kronos as a deity overseeing an earlier age of gods may share archetypal qualities—both represent origins, fatherhood, and transitions in the divine order or familial lineage.
Sanchuniathon and Philo of Byblos: The idea that Kronos was called "Israel" comes primarily from Philo of Byblos, who is one of our main sources for Phoenician mythology.
This blending is part of why Kronos (Greek) and El or Israel (Canaanite/Phoenician) might have been equated in Philo’s writings.
The claim that "in certain Phoenician texts, the deity Kronos was referred to as 'El' or 'Israel'" largely stems from the writings of Philo of Byblos, who, in the 1st-2nd century CE, translated and interpreted the earlier works of the Phoenician historian Sanchuniathon.
In Philo's accounts, Kronos is mentioned as one of the primary gods of the Phoenicians.
Kronos is sometimes equated with "El," who was one of the primary gods of the Canaanite pantheon.
El was the chief deity, the creator god, and a figure of great authority, similar in some ways to the Greek Kronos.
Philo’s writings suggest that Kronos held a name or title associated with "Israel," possibly pointing to an understanding of this figure as the patriarch or foundational entity of a group or people—akin to Jacob, who was renamed Israel and was the father of the 12 tribes of Israel.
The association of Kronos with "Israel" could imply that the Phoenicians viewed Kronos as having a role analogous to that of Jacob (Israel) in the Hebrew tradition—a patriarch or significant founder figure.
Kronos being called "El" suggests that he embodied similar characteristics to the Canaanite supreme deity—a god of creation, authority, and fatherhood.
By attributing the name "Israel" to Kronos, the Phoenicians or Philo might have been emphasizing his role as a ruling patriarch—a position analogous to that of Jacob in the Israelite tradition.
The Greeks equated Kronos with the Roman Saturn, and Philo, in turn, equated Kronos with the Phoenician El, adding the association with "Israel." This reflects the syncretic practices of identifying different cultural myths with similar archetypes to create cohesion in the ancient Mediterranean world.
It's also possible that the connection between Kronos and Israel is a result of later interpretation or conflation.
The claim that Kronos was referred to as "El" or "Israel" comes primarily from the writings of Philo of Byblos, who translated and interpreted earlier Phoenician sources.
Kronos was likely equated with "El," the supreme god of the Canaanite pantheon, and possibly associated with "Israel" to symbolize a patriarchal or foundational role similar to that of Jacob (renamed Israel) in Hebrew tradition.
The speaker delves into texts and sources to explore the idea that many mythological figures are based on real people and places, with a particular focus on Kronos, Judah, and the connections to Israel and the Phoenicians.
Kronos, also known as Saturn in Roman mythology, is equated with Jacob (Israel) in Phoenician tradition.
The Phoenicians referred to Kronos as "Israel," connecting him to biblical Jacob.
Kronos had a son named Judah (spelled differently in various sources as Jud, Yud, or Yood).
Kronos is noted for circumcising himself and compelling others to do the same, linking him to Israelite practices.
The video references "Cory's Ancient Fragments," which quotes historians like Sanchuniathon, supporting the identification of Kronos with Israel.
The Phoenicians called Kronos "El," which aligns with Israel's connection to Jacob.
Assyrian:The gods, led by Enlil, agreed to cleanse the earth of an overpopulated humanity, but Utnapishtim was warned by the god Ea in a dream.
There are many things to connect the mythology of the Gothic nations with Atlantis; they had, as we have seen, flood legends; their gods Krodo and Satar were the Chronos and Saturn of Atlantis; their Baal was the Bel of the Phœnicians, who were closely connected with Poseidon and Atlas; and, as we shall see hereafter, their language has a distinct relationship with the tongues of the Arabians, Cushites, Chaldeans, and Phœnicians.
Chronos, or Saturn, Dionysos, Hyperion, Atlas, Hercules, were all connected with "a great Saturnian continent;" they were kings that ruled over countries on the western shores of the Mediterranean, Africa and Spain.
"Hyperion, Atlas, and Saturn, or Chronos, were sons of Uranos, who reigned over a great kingdom composed of countries around the western part of the Mediterranean, with certain islands in the Atlantic.
The kingdom was then divided between Atlas and Saturn--Atlas taking Northern Africa, with the Atlantic islands, and Saturn the countries on the opposite shore of the Mediterranean to Italy and Sicily." (Baldwin's Prehistoric Nations," p.
for Cronos knew that no human nature, invested with supreme power, is able to order human affairs and not overflow with insolence and wrong."
No vassal god, nor of his train am I.Three brothers, deities, from Saturn came,And ancient Rhea, earth's immortal dame;Assigned by lot our triple rule we know;Infernal Pluto sways the shades below:O'er the wide clouds, and o'er the starry plainEthereal Jove extends his high domain;My court beneath the hoary waves I keep,And hush the roaring of the sacred deep.
Mythology tells us that when the Titans were defeated by Saturn they retreated into the interior of Spain; Jupiter followed them up, and beat them for the last time near Tartessus, and thus terminated a ten-years' war.
If we needed any further proof that the empire of the Titans was the empire of Atlantis, we would find it in the names of the Titans: among these were Oceanus, Saturn or Chronos, and Atlas; they were all the sons of Uranos.
We have seen Chronos identified with the Atlantic, called by the Romans the "Chronian Sea." He was known to the Romans under the name of Saturn, and ruled over "a great Saturnian continent" in the Western Ocean.
Saturn, or Chronos, came to Italy: he presented himself to the king, Janus, "and proceeded to instruct the subjects of the latter in agriculture, gardening, and many other arts then quite unknown to them; as, for example, how to tend and cultivate the vine.
By such means he at length raised the people from a rude and comparatively barbarous condition to one of order and peaceful occupations, in consequence of which he was everywhere held in high esteem, and, in course of time, was selected by Janus to share with him the government of the country, which thereupon assumed the name of Saturnia--'a land of seed and fruit.' The period of Saturn's government was sung in later days by poets as a happy time, when sorrows were unknown, when innocence, freedom, and gladness reigned throughout the land in such a degree as to deserve the title of the Golden Age." (Murray's Mythology," p.
Schott sees in the orbicular wheel-like plates of this statue the wheel symbol of Kronos
and Saturn; and, in turn, it may be supposed that the wheel of Kronos was simply the cross of Atlantis, surrounded by its encircling ring.
In the Chaldean legends the god Ea ordered Khasisatra to inscribe the divine learning, and the principles of all sciences, on tables of terra-cotta, and bury them, before the Deluge, "in the City of the Sun at Sippara."
And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his heart, 'I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake.'" In the Chaldean legend we are told that Khasisatra also offered a sacrifice, a burnt offering, "and the gods assembled like flies above the master of the sacrifice." But Bel came in a high state of indignation, just as the Aztec god did, and was about to finish the work of the Deluge, when the great god Ea took ''pity in his heart and interfered to save the remnant of mankind.
Locations: The Andromedans mention human colonies on Mars, moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and an attempt to establish a base on Pluto.
Jofiel’s energy is linked to the planet Saturn, the planet of challenge and change, and the karmic reaper.
Hall referenced a statue of Kronos in Greece, which depicted two kinds of time: the ever-passing time and the eternal "now."
Hall mentioned the discovery of the rings of Saturn and other celestial bodies through these instruments.
Squares to Saturn during this retrograde suggest potential obstacles and delays in communication or travel.
Gods: Ishtar, Shamash, Ea
This was the work of Hephaistos, who gave it to Zeus, the son of Kronos.
"My friends," he said, "heroes, squires of Ares, Zeus, the son of Kronos, has tied me down with atê.
The story centers on Kronos' rebellion against his tyrannical father, Ouranos.
After Ouranos attempts to kill his children, Kronos, with Hermes' help, overthrows him, establishing his rule and founding the city of Byblos.
C) History of Kronos (PE 1.10.
“Ouranos inherited his father’s dominion and married his sister Ge, and from her produced four children: Elos, who is also Kronos, Baetylos, Dagon, who is Grain, and Atlas.
“When Kronos reached manhood, he punished his father Ouranos and thus avenged his mother, utilizing Hermes Trismegistos—for he was his secretary—as counselor and helper.
The children of Kronos were Persephone and Athena.
The former died in early maidenhood; with the advice of the latter, Athena, as well as of Hermes, Kronos made a sickle and spear of iron.
Then Hermes used magic spells on the allies of Kronos and instilled in them a desire to fight against Ouranos on behalf of Ge.
Thus, Kronos waged war against Ouranos expelled him from his dominion, and took up his kingdom.
Ouranos' favorite mistress, who was pregnant, was also captured in the battle and Kronos gave her in marriage to Dagon.
“Furthermore, Kronos surrounded his own dwelling with a wall, and founded the first city, Byblos in Phoenicia.
Afterwards, Kronos began to suspect his own brother Atlas, and on the advice of Hermes, he cast him down and buried him in the depths of the earth.
Now the allies of Elos, i.e., Kronos, were called ‘Eloim,’ as the ones named after Kronos would be ‘Kronians.’
“Kronos had a son Sadidos whom he destroyed with his own weapon because he was suspicious of him.
Similarly, he beheaded his own daughter, so that all the gods were astounded at the disposition of Kronos.
“Some time later, while Ouranos was in exile, he secretly sent his maiden daughter Astarte together with two other sisters of hers, Rhea and Dione, to kill Kronos by stealth.
Kronos, however, caught the lasses and made the sisters his wives.
When Ouranos found out, he sent Destiny, Hour, and other allies into battle against Kronos.
These too Kronos won over and kept at his side.
"Kronos had seven daughters, Titanids or Artemids, by Astarte, and again by Rhea he had seven sons, the youngest of whom was made an object of worship at the time of his birth.
"Three more children were born to Kronos in (or ‘by’) Peraea, Kronos, named after his father, Zeus Belos, and Apollo.
"In the thirty-second year of his own assumption of royal authority Elos, i.e., Kronos, trapped his father Ouranos in a certain inland place.
Such are the things told about Kronos; and such are the solemn tales about the life of the contemporaries of Kronos as that is celebrated by the Greeks.
"Greatest Astarte and Zeus, called both Demarous and Adodos, king of gods, were ruling over the land with the consent of Kronos.
"Also when Kronos was traveling around the world, he gave the kingdom of Attica to his own daughter Athena.
At the occurrence of a fatal plague, Kronos immolated his only son to his father Ouranos, and circumcised himself, forcing the allies who were with him to do the same.
In addition, Kronos gave the city Byblos to the goddess Baaltis who is also Dione, and the city Beirut to Poseidon and to the Kabeiri, the Hunters and the Fishers, who made the relics of Pontos an object of worship in Beirut.
"Before this, the god Taautos, imitating the visages of his fellow gods, Kronos, Dagon and the rest, engraved the sacred forms of the letters.
He also invented as royal emblems for Kronos four eyes, on the front and in the rear, two awake, and two closed restfully; and upon the shoulders, four wings, two as if fluttering, and two as if relaxed.
This a symbol, since Kronos was watchful even when in repose, and was in repose even when awake; similarly the wings were symbolic because he flew while at rest, and was at rest while flying.
Each of the other gods had two feathers upon his shoulders, since they in fact flew with Kronos.
When he went to the southern land, Kronos transferred all of Egypt to the god Taautos, so that it might become his kingdom.
Now Kronos, whom the Phoenicians call El, who was in their land and who was later divinized after his death as the star of Kronos, had an only son by a local bride named Anobret, and therefore they called him Ieoud.—Even now among the Phoenicians the only son is given this name.—When war’s gravest dangers gripped the land, Kronos dressed his son in royal attire, prepared an altar and sacrificed him.”
The Phoenicians understand Kronos according to the interpretation of a similar name or according to some allegory, as one may gather from the second book of the work on Phoenicia by Herennius Philo.
It was under him that the Great Deluge took place, the history of which is told in the sacred documents as follows: Cronos (Ea) appeared to him in his sleep, and announced that on the fifteenth of the month of Daisios (the Assyrian month Sivan--a little before the summer solstice) all men should perish by a flood.
"'And the god [Ea], the immutable lord, repeated this command in a dream.--I listened to the decree of fate that he announced, and he said to me:--" Man of Shurippak, son of Ubaratutu--thou, build a vessel and finish it [quickly].--[By a deluge] I will destroy substance and life.--Cause thou to go up into the vessel the substance of all that has life.--The vessel thou shall build-600 cubits shall be the measure of its length--and 60 cubits the amount of its breadth and of its height.
[Launch if] thus on the ocean, and cover it with a roof."--I understood, and I said to Ea, my lord:--"The vessel] that thou commandest me to build thus--[when] I shall do it,--young and old [shall laugh at me.]"--[Ea opened his mouth and] spoke.--He said to me, his servant:--"[If they laugh at thee] thou shalt say to them:--[shall be punished] he who has insulted me, [for the protection of the gods] is over me.-- .
At a given moment that I shall cause thee to know,--enter into it, and draw the door of the ship toward thee.--Within it, thy grains, thy furniture, thy provisions, thy riches, thy men-servants, and thy maid-servants, and thy young people--the cattle of the field, and the wild beasts of the plain that I will assemble-and that I will send thee, shall be kept behind thy door."--Khasisatra opened his mouth and spoke;--he said to Ea, his lord:--"No one has made [such a] ship.--On the prow I will fix .
No man shall be preserved from the abyss!"--Adar opened his mouth and said; he said to the warrior Bel:--"What other than Ea should have formed this resolution?--for Ea possesses knowledge, and [he foresees] all."--Ea opened his mouth and spake; he said to the warrior Bel:--"O thou, herald of the gods, warrior,--as thou didst not master thyself, thou hast made the water-spout of the Deluge.--Let the sinner carry the weight of his sins, the blasphemer the weight of his blasphemy.--Please thyself with this good pleasure, and it shall never be infringed; faith in it never [shall be violated].--Instead of thy making a new deluge, let lions appear and reduce the number of men;--instead of thy making a new deluge, let hyenas appear and reduce the number of men;--instead of thy making a new deluge, let there be famine, and let the earth be [devastated];--instead of thy making a new deluge, let Dibbara appear, and let men be [mown down].
Chronos, it is well known, was the same as Saturn.
Saturn was an ancient king of Italy, who, far anterior to the founding of Rome, introduced civilization from some other country to the Italians.
Here, then, we have convincing testimony that the country referred to in the Chaldean legends was the land of Chronos, or Saturn--the ocean world, the dominion of Atlantis.
Hea or Ea, the god of the Nineveh tablets, was a fish-god: he was represented in the Chaldean monuments as half man and half fish; he was described as the god, not of the rivers and seas, but of "the abyss"--to wit, the ocean.
The Titans, led by Cronus, used Mount Othrys as their base of operations in their struggle against the younger generation of gods, led by Zeus.
Cronus, the leader of the Titans and father of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, ruled from Mount Othrys before being overthrown by his sons.
According to myth, Cronus devoured his children at birth to prevent them from usurping his power, but Zeus was hidden by his mother, Rhea, and eventually led the revolt against his father.
The eventual defeat of Cronus and the Titans led to the establishment of the Olympian gods as the rulers of the cosmos, with Mount Othrys symbolizing the old order.
He was also immortal, the son of the Titan Cronus and the nymph Philyra.
Classical tradition places Rhea, the Curetes, and Amalthea on this island when Zeus is hidden from Cronus.
Cronus is the father who swallows his children.
Rhea hides the newborn from Cronus.
She tricks Cronus with a stone wrapped as a baby.
So these nymphs fed the child on the milk of Amalthea; and the Curetes in arms guarded the babe in the cave, clashing their spears on their shields in order that Cronus might not hear the child’s voice.
But Rhea wrapped a stone in swaddling clothes and gave it to Cronus to swallow, as if it were the newborn child.
The Curetes (also spelled Kouretes) are the armed dancers who clash spears on shields so Cronus cannot hear the infant’s cries.
The stone is the bait Cronus swallows instead of the child.
