Our story begins when Cronos, god of time, overthrows, castrates, and kills his father Uranus, the god of the air.
With his dying breath Uranus said "As you have overthrown me, one of your own children will overthrow you."
It should be noted that after Cronos castrated Uranus, he threw his genitals into the sea, and from the sea foam they created, the goddess Aphrodite was born.
