The Orphic Tradition is a weird, weird thing that includes the god of Time himself, Chronos (not, you know, Cronus/Kronus). Plus, don't try to understand the chronology of Greek mythology.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
