    Properly speaking, the grandfather of Zeus is not Chronos (i.e. Time), but Kronos (Cronus to Latins). At some point along the line his name got confused and people are very quick to connect him to time. Alas, it ain't so. He was most likely a harvest god of some sort (look at some of the Roman stories about Saturn).
