Apropos for a Saturday Afternoon

The sixth planet of our solar system, Saturn, lends its name to Saturday, the sixth day of our week.

In Greek mythology the Titan Cronus (Saturn), father of Zeus (Jupiter) , not only was not only responsible for the creation of the Giants and Furies (by castrating his own father with a sickle no less!), but also heralded a golden age for Rome after fleeing his own usurper of a son after a war that pretty much destroyed the universe.

This golden age of Rome was celebrated each year with the Feast of Saturnalia, held around the Winter Solstice.

One has to wonder what has now re-awaked the slumbering titan to cast his gaze upon our universe again?

Check out the story of “Saturn’s Eye”.
