ArchivesYou mean Cronus is not an alternative spelling of Chronus? (m)
in reply to a message by Ivayla
Because the way it is in the database (Cronus being the father of the Greek gods), I thought we were talking about "the time".
The fact is that I've read the Greek mythology in Bulgarian and slavic languages do not distinguish between "c" as in cake, "ch" as in Christina and "k". So in my copy it was literally Êðîíîñ, which could have been a transliterated Chronos, Cronos or Kronos.
So is Cronus the latin name of Chronus is is it a completely different thing?
