Re: I believe you may be thinking of "Chronos".
Spot-on, Nan :)
=> Kronos is written with a kappa (K), which is pronounced like "castrate" -- which is precisely what Kronos did to his dad Uranus to avenge Gaia, his abused mom. The avenging demons known as Erinyes were born from the blood of Uranus's doodads. From the severed doodads themselves, which were cast off the shores of Cyprus, emerged the goddess of love Aphrodite.
=> Chronos -- the god of time -- on the other hand, is written with a chi (X), which is pronounced like the Scottish "loch". IKronos and Chronos are originally two distinct entities, although Kronos was later interpreted as Chronos (see Aristotle, de Mundo, 401 a 15)
