In ancient Greek mythology Cronus was a Titan, in other words a giant of great power and strength. He was banished Tartarus along with his other Titan siblings by his father Uranus who felt they were a threat. Cronus was a patron of the harvest, and he is often depicted with a sickle. It was the curved shape of the sickle that made Hjorth-Johansen think of Cronus, as well as the huge size of the hollow tree trunk.
