Cronos and Cratos are different characters. Cratos is Dominion, Power. It was he who chained Prometheus to the rock. Cratos is the offspring of Pallas and Styx.

Also the identification betwen Cronos and Chronos is a late one. Chronos (Time) is the father of the Horae (Hours and Seasons), Aether (Upper sky), and Eros (Love), in some versions (this offspring appears in Nonnos and in the Argonautica Orphica).

Oranos (Uranus) was castrated by his son Chronos (Saturn).

Cronos was killed by his son Zeus (Jupiter)

Zeus' brother Hades (Pluto) is the lord of the underworld.

Aphodite (Venus) was born from Oranos genitals, not Cronos.

Cronus castrated his father with a sickle, Cronus is also represented as "Father Time." Cronus is the root word of Chrono which means "time."
