  Cronos, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
Cronos was affected, for having attacked his father, by what later came to be called the "Punishment of Neoptolemus", which consists in suffering oneself what one has done to another, or almost.
Apparently Cronos had no reason to disbelieve his wife, for gods are capable of anything, and so Rhea 1, who had laid Poseidon in a flock of lambs to live with them, gave him a foal to swallow instead of the child.

 CRONOS
CRONOS has been integrated into the Intelligent Intersection system (see GRETIA- The Intelligent Intersection project: the management of signalized intersections) whose objectives are to manage any urban intersection with traffic signals.
CRONOS was assessed with respect to a traffic signal plan with micro-control functions (AUTONOME) built by the Val de Marne traffic engineers for this intersection.
The average benefits of CRONOS compared to this strategy are 20% of the total delay, 11% of the total number of stops, 8% of the percentage of stopping vehicles whatever the traffic situation (from very light to dense traffic).

 Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Cronos
Cronos is a class act, and it's been a long time since we've seen one of those in the arena of horror.
Frankly, we're geting a little tired of the current crop of vampire books/TV shows/movies, all of which claim to be putting a new spin on the vampire legend, all of which have the same 'new' spin: That vampires live in societies of their own, often at the fringes of normal society.
Cronos is almost unique in the pantheon of recent horror movies in that it succeeds on the strength of its atmosphere and story, not by trying to fill the screen with gore and sex.

 CRONOS Robot
And so it is, if all one wants is a robot that fits into a human envelope, is able to operate in limited ways on a largely static and predictable world, and is tractable from the point of view of control.
However, with CRONOS, we will be forced to develop complete whole-body predictive motor programs in order to produce human-like reaching, grasping, and lifting from an apparently stable platform.
CRONOS was an initial design study, investigating materials, actuators, joints, and morphology.

 Film & TV: Vampire in a Box (Austin Chronicle . 10-19-98)
Cronos begins with Fulcanelli, an alchemist who has fled the Spanish Inquisition for refuge in Vera Cruz, Mexico in 1536, only 15 years after the conquest of the Aztecs by Cortes.
However, having discovered the Cronos device and its ability to give him a more youthful appearance and renewed interest in life, Jesus Gris has no intention of giving it up for any sum.
The bug inside the Cronos device came about through his musings about a strange fad in Mexico in the 1970s when women wore live beetles pinned to their dresses as jewelry.

Cronos the band was formed by Cronos the man, bassist/vocalist for the legendary Venom, after his departure from that band in the late eighties.
Cronos' vocals are not radically different from his Venom days, but indeed the songs are more in the classic NWOBHM mold.
By 1997 Cronos the man was back in the reformed Venom and this band was officially laid to rest.

 The Film Asylum Review - Cronos (Federico Luppi, Ron Perlman)
Almost the complete opposite to his more accessible popcorn movies made for the mainstream US market today, Cronos is very much the product of a man eager to add depth and colour to his characters giving the Cronos experience a very European flavour focusing more on the films style rather than its pace.
At best it can be described as a unique slice of sympathetic horror from a man clearly in love with his trade, but its steady pace and alternate approach to the vampire mythos may dissuade those with an insatiable demand for eye candy.
As mentioned, Cronos has a great commentary with Guillermo del Toro which is a wonderful insight not only into the film but also into the mind of this passionate director.

 Scifilm -- Reviews, CRONOS (1993)
In Green mythology, Cronos (son of the Sky god and the Earth goddess) was a Titan who ruled the world until he himself was overthrown by his own—slightly more famous—son, Zeus.
He has been buying every archangel that comes to his attention in the hope of finding the device, so when he finally gets his hands on the correct figure he is disappointed to say the least when he discovers that someone has beaten him to it...
CRONOS is one of the most compelling, atmospheric and witty horror movies of recent years.

 'Cronos'
At $2 million, "Cronos" is the second-highest budgeted film in the history of Mexican cinema -- after "Chocolate." Unlike that mystical-sensual tragicomedy, though, "Cronos" is a horror genre film about vampires -- but one so well conceived and executed that it satisfies both mainstream and art-film expectations.
Despite the vampire theme, there is not much blood in "Cronos," which may help explain how it was able to snag nine Ariels (including best film, best first film and best screenplay) and avoid the burden of genre limitations.
So when "Cronos" opened in Los Angeles a while back, the American distributor, October Films, spread its promotional budget between Spanish-language media and American art-house organs; 10 theaters offered the film dubbed completely in Spanish, and seven the dual-language, subtitled original (the one showing at the Key).

 Modamag.com |Cronos (DVD Review)
As Jesús finds himself becoming addicted to the Cronos object, he also finds trouble in the dying form of Dieter del la Guardia (Claudio Brook), a man who has the alchemist’s diary and wants desperately to live forever.
While “Cronos” is essentially a genre film, this is by far not a standard horror movie by any means.
Jesús is becoming a vampire of sorts, but retains much of his humanity and the film ends up becoming more about the relationship he has with his granddaughter than anything else.
