In Greek mythology, Chronos (Χρόνος in Greek) in pre-Socratic philosophical works is said to be the personification of time. He emerged from the primordial Chaos. He is sometimes mythologically confused with the Titan Cronus (Κρόνος in Greek).
He was depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a man turning the Zodiac Wheel. Often the figure is named Aeon (Eternal Time), a common alternate name for the god. His name actually means "Time", and is alternatively spelled Khronos (transliteration of the Greek), Chronos, Chronus (Latin version; not to be confused with Cronus). Some of the current English words which show a tie to khronos/chronos and the attachment to time are chronology, chronic, and chronicle.
