Cronus is a god of the past, a past that never comes back. Thus, Cronus can become the god of the Golden Age. He can play the role of the king of the Isle of the Blessed. But he is also the king of Saturnalia, a space-time island of happiness, in which all the rules and conventions of society are overturned. He can also become the god of satire and freedom of speech in the work of Lucian of Samosata, together with Momus and Prometheus.

Abstract

Cronus is a god of the past, a past that never comes back. Thus, Cronus can become the god of the Golden Age. He can play the role of the king of the Isle of the Blessed. But he is also the king of Saturnalia, a space-time island of happiness, in which all the rules and conventions of society are overturned. He can also become the god of satire and freedom of speech in the work of Lucian of Samosata, together with Momus and Prometheus.
