Step into the shadowed world of the Titans, where betrayal carves the fate of gods and the line between creation and destruction is razor-thin. This episode unpacks the myth of Cronus—the ruthless son who overthrew the sky itself, ushered in a fleeting Golden Age, and devoured his own children to escape a prophecy he could never outrun. From the bloody birth of Aphrodite to the cosmic struggle of the Titanomachy, discover how Cronus’s rebellion shattered the old order, set the stage for Zeus’s rise, and left a legacy of paradox: tyrant, liberator, devourer, and doomed king. Why does the story of Cronus still haunt our imagination? Because his myth is the blueprint for every doomed revolution and every cycle of power—divine or human.
