Colonus (ancient Greek: Χρόνος English: Chronos/Khronos (translated as Cronus in most domestic works) is a primitive god in ancient Greek mythology, worshipped by one of the three main sects of Orpheanism (also known as Orpheanism), who created Caos and Etel. He is also the father of the creation god Fanes. The first cause of the universe, referred to in Neoplatonism as the one, (sometimes referred to as "too one" to emphasize its importance)

In addition to ancient Greek mythology, Chronos was also regarded as the origin of everything in the universe in the Phoenician civilization.
Many people would compare Cronus and the Titan god Cronus (ancient Greek: Κρόνος） Confusion.

Colonus (ancient Greek: Χρόνος） It is a primitive god in ancient Greek mythology, representing time. In the "Twenty Four Elements of Holy Scripture", it is the God of Time.
Kronos is a philosophical concept of invisibility and formlessness. But in the Hi é ronymos/Hellanikos pantheon, Kronos appears in the form of a dragon - with three heads: a human head, a bull head, and a lion head, as well as a long dragon body. (This version is an image recorded in the Hi é ronymos/Hellanikos genealogy, which is not included in the Psalm. It is worth noting that this image is highly equivalent to Fanes.) His consort Ananca and nature are inevitably integrated with Adasteia (nature and Adasteia are the two forms presented by Ananca), and connected to Kronos, covering the entire world. [4]
Colonus, also known as Heracles, is believed by the Stoic school to have the power of Colonus to sustain the entire universe. When his power is depleted (i.e. the end of a great year), the universe will be engulfed by a sea of fire, and Colonus will return to the original fire (also known as fate, nature, and Zeus [5]). This is similar to the plot of Heracles dying in the fire after completing his great feat, so the two are equated (see Brisson's "Damaskchyus and Orpheusism") [6]
In Greek and Roman mosaic art, he is described as a god who rotates the zodiac and is named "Aeon". In modern art works, he usually appears as an elderly person holding a sickle in hand.

Kronos and his consort Anancus were gods that only the Orphean sect had, and none of the other sects had. The early Orphean sect believed that Fanes was the original deity (see "Delvini's Manuscript" [7], Orphic Fragment 65) and the creator of the universe.
In the later versions of the "24 Elements" and the Hi é ronymos/Hellanikos version, the god Colonus was added, and the "Holy Word" believed that Colonus was the first origin and created everything.
The Hi é ronymos/Hellanikos version believes that the existence of "water" and "soil" predates time, and the two are the second origin. The first origin cannot be said, and water and soil converge to form a third origin: time, which is the creation of all things by Colonus.
In addition to the Orpus sect, Greek mythology also has various claims that Caos (Hessios' Theology), Ochianus (Homer's Epic), and Nicus (Aristophanes' Birds, and Palminides' On Nature) were the original origins.
Kronos created Ether and Caos (the image of Caos cannot be simply explained by chaos, water, chaos, cracks, etc. have all been described as Caos, and it is currently speculated that cracks were the earliest meaning of Caos), and created a cosmic egg within the infinite Ether. The egg contains the past, present, and future of the entire universe, and gave birth to the original god, the bisexual god Fanes (also known as Prodignus, Metis, Pan, etc.). Fanes ruled over the gods as the first god king, and the second god king Nix was the daughter and wife of Fanes, It is also a manifestation of the feminization of Fanes (see Brisson's "Damaskkeius and Orphelism", and the editor has not yet found any original texts related to Nix and Ananca).

Orphic Fragment 65 equates Etter with Colonus and refers to Fanes as the father of Colonus.
Under the guidance of Nikus, Zeus engulfed Fanes, connecting the past, future, and present of the universe, and recreating the universe. His image is also equivalent to that of Fanes. (earliest seen around the 4th century BC in the "Delvinian Manuscript," which has been used in subsequent versions), and later the sixth god king of the universe, Dionysus, was murdered and reborn by Titans, also symbolizing the return of Fanes and the reincarnation of the universe.
In Greek mythology, according to previous philosophical works by Socrates, Kronos is the deification of time, and the term Chronos was originally used to mean time. In modern Greece, his name also means "time" and can be spelled as Chronus (Latin spelling)
Colonos is usually described as a wise old man with a slender gray beard and the father of time. The roots of some English words nowadays come from Khonos and Chronos, including chronology, chronometer, synchronic, anachronism, and chronicle.

Time (which was not yet personified as Cronus) had the same pronunciation as Cronus, so ancient Greeks sometimes compared Cronus to time playing with homophones, And Cronus is actually also known as the Eternal Lord of Time in Orpheanism (see Psalm Thirteen: "Cronus the Eternal Lord of Time, Cronus speaks a thousand words and colors, Gaia, and the son of Uranus, who is full of stars" [10] This Psalm clearly refers to Cronus rather than Cronus.)

Orpheanism originated in the era of Greek immigrants in the 8th century BC, reflecting an unprecedented social intention; It is the result of various economic changes (note: the widening wealth gap) and the intensification of class struggle. [8] Originating from Athens and southern Italy, some concepts and rituals can be traced back to Egypt. [9] The Pythagorean school, Plato, and later Neoplatonism, Christianity, have all been influenced by Orpheanism.
Kronos was not a god that existed at the beginning of the Orphean religion, and there are now two interpretations of its origin:
One theory suggests that ancient Greece did not play a significant role in traditional Greek mythology (such as Hesiod's "Theology"). Colonus should have emerged as a deity during the Roman period of the first century AD, influenced by the worship of Mithras in ancient Iran.
The second theory is that ancient Greece had a development of the concept of time in the sixth century BC, which was also the period of the prosperity of Orpheanism. The concept of time god appears very reasonable in Orpheanism.
By the time of Plato (5th century BC to 4th century BC), Orpheanism had declined and became a means of deceiving scammers. However, some people, such as Plato and Aristophanes (ancient Greek comedians), still appreciated it and incorporated it into their works
In the Roman era, the rise of Christianity caused a crisis for the neoplatonic school of polytheism. They used Plato's works as a basis to organize and absorb knowledge including Orpheanism (and most of the Orpheanism knowledge we now know also came from this), hoping to compete with Christianity, but ultimately failed.
