		But let’s accept for a moment that the Mythology is valid the way it is, and the ancients decided to keep Ouranos and Cronos and Zeus in the mythology for other reasons- accept that they were trying to show us another, deeper divine reality with these stories, beyond just changing tribal politics from long ago.
		The Primal, Moving Force of the "Father" Ouranos is still there; it has evolved, and become entangled in space/time and duality, which is the expressed "universe system", and which leads to awareness of duality, or consciousness.
		On one hand, a person can look at history and surmise that the Titans represent older divinities, which were “replaced” by the Gods of incoming tribes and groups of people- the mythology written by the newcomers and victors could easily reflect a “cosmic takeover” from the older Gods to their Gods.

		In Greek mythology, Cronus, youngest of the twelve Titans born to Gaea and Ouranos (Earth and Sky), castrated his father Ouranos with a big scythe (ouch O_O), driving him far away from Gaea.

	Greek Mythology: GAEA / GAIA Protogenos Goddess of the Earth ( also Ge )
		Gaia was the mother of Okeanos and Tethys, the Titan-Gods of rivers, fountains and streams.
		For of all the children that were born of Gaia (Earth) and Ouranos, these were the most terrible, and they were hated by their own father from the first.
		She was the great mother of all: te heavenly gods were descended from her primal union with Ouranos (the sky), the sea-gods from her union with Pontos (the sea), the cruel Gigantes from her mating with Tartaros (the hell-pit) and mortal creatures were born of her without mate.

		Like Cronus, Sailor Saturn wields a big scythe-like object, and although I said that the death/destruction/rebirth theme behind Sailor Saturn is very much a Scorpio/Pluto thing, the way Cronus deposed his father and was in turn deposed by his son does kind of represent the cycle of destruction and beginning anew, of death and rebirth.
		It might also interest you to note that the Japanese (along with the Koreans and Chinese) use a specific symbol to represent each day of the week, and the symbol used to represent Saturday is also the first kanji/character in Hotaru's name.

	POSEIDON-NEPTUNE
		PONTUS, whose name signifies "the deep" (compare fundus, bottom, and profundus, deep), is said to have been an elder brother of Ouranos, and seems to represent the first state of the Celestial Church, which was a state relatively simple and natural.
		He was succeeded by OCEANOS, the first-born son of Ouranos, who was one of the most amiable of the Titans, and who, in the first great world-war, sided with Zeus and the Olympian gods against Chronos and his "saturnine" crew.
