“The Cronos Complex”: What did he mean by “cronos complex”? “Cronos” is a Greek term for the verb meaning “to rule, to reign, to govern”; it has many phonetic translations, among them krans, kronus, cronus, cronos, krou nes, and kreno. According to the Encyclopedia Mythica website entry on “Cronus,” who was a “Titan God” in Greek Mythology that castrated his father Uranus whose power he envied and coveted—and to preserve his reign and power, Cronus devoured, consumed or ate, his children to preserve his rule—the name may derive from the verb kreno, which means “to exercise sway,” “to reign over,” “to govern,” “to rule.”
