As a Greek historian, I have a very curious question for you. Are you ever annoyed when modern fiction depicts Cronus, the King of the Titans, and Khronos, the Personification of Time, as the same entity? Or do you simply write it off as a modern retcon of Greek myth?

Well, the thing is, the confusion between the two actually isn’t purely a modern one – the similarity between the names Kronos and Chronos was one that the ancient Greeks noticed too.  There’re references in Plutarch and in the pseudo-Aristotelian De Mundo that seem to point to a popular belief that the two gods were actually the same dude – and then there’s whole alternate versions of the creation myth that seem to conflate them, like the one in Pherecydes’ Heptamychos, where Chronos, Kronos and Zeus (whom Pherecydes calls Zas) all seem to bleed together to some extent.  Also, you gotta remember that our notion of Greek cosmology is based almost entirely on Hesiod, who is only the oldest and most broadly acknowledged written version of what was probably an extremely heterogeneous tradition with all kinds of bizarre variants that are mostly or completely lost to us.  So basically… it’s okay, the ancients couldn’t keep that one straight either. 😉
