Greek Primordial God & Personification of Time
Chronos, also spelled Chronus, is a personification of time in pre-Socratic philosophy and later literature.
Chronos is frequently confused with, or perhaps consciously identified with, the Titan, Cronus, in antiquity, due to the similarity in names. The identification became more widespread during the Renaissance, giving rise to the iconography of Father Time wielding the harvesting scythe.
Greco-Roman mosaics depicted Chronos as a man turning the zodiac wheel. He is comparable to the deity Aion as a symbol of cyclical time. He is usually portrayed as an old callous man with a thick grey beard, personifying the destructive and stifling aspects of time
Chronos Statue
Take home a piece of the original father time with the Chronos Statue. Chronos is the personification of time, and with his wife Akanke they created the world egg and separated the earth, sea and sky. Standing with a scythe, winged Chronos watches the sands of an hourglass dwindle away while a youth plays at his feet. This statue is crafted from cold casted bronze with various painted elements throughout giving the Chronos Statue a great modern classical look.
