Comments on: Kronus In My Coffee http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/kronus-in-my-coffee/ Reflections of a working writer and reader Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:14:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Jim Murdoch http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/kronus-in-my-coffee/comment-page-1/#comment-109771 Jim Murdoch Tue, 08 Jul 2008 17:29:21 +0000 http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/?p=1262#comment-109771 Okay, my Greek history was never that great but I really don't get the title. The narrator is a female and Kronus was a male Titan and, as far as I can tell, not a twin. Unless you meant Khronos, as in Father Time? Can you clarify, please? <strong>jb says</strong>: You ready for this, Jim? Kronus was the deity who devoured his children so they wouldn't overthrow him and castrate and kill him like he did his own father. He actually eats the children, but Zeus is hidden from him and he eats a stone instead, thinking that it is Zeus. The original idea behind the piece was of someone who had lived a life in the shadows. Who had been self 'A', hidden behind a construct, self 'B'. She eventually emerges into her own destiny. Just as Zeus emerges and takes the place of his father, Kronus. OK, I'll think of a new title. Okay, my Greek history was never that great but I really don’t get the title.
