Chronos:

Chronos, alternatively spelled as Eternity, Aeon, Cronos, Zen, Clockwork God, Khronos or Chronus, is 2nd-in-Command of the Primordial Deities known as the Protogenoi and is the personification of time & eternity and the lord of the Zodiac. His wife is Ananke, Goddess of inevitability, compulsion and necessity.

His name means the word "time". He was initially portrayed to possess an incorporeal figure as a serpent with three heads; one of a man, the second of a bull, and the last of a lion. Chronos is also a God of Death along with being a guide to the afterlife.

Chronos already was confused with, or perhaps consciously identified with, the Titan Cronus in antiquity due to the similarity in names.

Chronos is usually portrayed as an old, wise man with a long, grey beard, similar to Father Time. His connection with Death, had accidentally had many beings mistaken each identity with the other.

In some Greek sources, Chaos is mentioned as a brother of Chronos. However, other sources point out that it is his son. Chronos is the protector of Chaos and has tried for centuries to freed Chaos from its prison and succeeded.

Chronos is said to the father of Phanes, the mystic primeval deity of procreation and the generation of new life.
