Chronos

Chronos, the Greek god of Time, is a parallel deity with the Roman's Saturn. Both represent Time in all its manifestations - past, present, and future. Time can be a blessing with the progression of seasons and moving on from hardship. However, for the human it also represents mortality of the individual and, inevitable, the species. Chronos was supposedly the first god to exist, in existence even before Zeus.
