The Creation of the World - Greek Mythology

# data[].attributes.body
Life on earth during the time of Cronus’ rule could be seen as perfect. Because of this,this time period in Greek mythology is known as the Golden Age of man. “At this time there were no punishments, no swords, no helmets and no threatening words, and even to eat the flesh of oxen was held a crime. . .war was unknown and life passed in gentle ease. This was the time when spring was everlasting…”. In simpler terms, this passage is saying that under Cronus, life was prosperous and simple for all. Life was how everyone wished today’s world could be: peaceful and serendipitous. This life on Earth was very dissimilar to life in the heavens. Overall, life on Earth during the rule of Cronus was different from life in the heavens in a great way.

A historical ruler Cronus could be compared to is Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler boasts the attributes of Cronus above: paranoia, power hungry, and cruel. Hitler showed signs of paranoia near the conclusion of the second world war. He was perceived by his commanding officers as unstable and nervous, afraid of the consequences of losing the war. Also, Hitler showed a strong need for power. He wished to conquer and annex all of Europe, and proved as a immense threat to the world. Finally, Hitler was extremely cruel, and could be considered arguably the cruelest and most horrific dictator in history. Both rulers managed to convince their civilization into thinking they were set into a golden age; however, both civilizations soon fell. The country of Germany had thought that the Nazi's were the best thing that ever happened to them, but soon caused their undoing. The ancient Greek civilization under Cronus' rule had believed they were blessed with a golden age, but the war between the gods and the titans ruined the empire into a state of decay, that was until the gods took over.

Attributes of Cronus Leading to his Demise

# data[].attributes.body
Paranoid Mindset- Cronus was extremely paranoid during his stint as Titan ruler. For example, he was paranoid enough to take the advice of a prophecy and eat his own children. This shows that he was paranoid enough to destroy his own family and commit cannibalism just by the thought of losing power. In the end, this attribute also caused him to not realize that he was being plotted against by the thing he was trying to destroy.

Power Hungry- Cronus was also very hungry for power. Although this attribute is usually perceived as something positive, it assisted in Cronus' failures. For instance, it caused him to castrate his own father to take the throne. Yet, in brutal irony the same terrible fate caught up with Cronus. This need for power led him to ignore Rhea's backstabbing plot against him.

Cruelty- Cronus' willingness to imprison, kill, or torture any being also led to his failure. "When Cronus, the ruling Titan, came to power he imprisoned the Cyclopes in Tartarus. Some myths also said he imprisoned the three Hecaoncheires". This shows that he was willing to be cruel if it meant he could stay in power. This cruelty and violence eventually rubbed his wife the wrong way enough to want to overthrow her own husband.
