yeah. cronos/saturn in the pelasgian/proto-greek myth fights against a chaos monster which he uses to create/shape the universe like ninurta and marduk. > pherecydes of syros who is said to have come to ionia from further south east in southern anatolia flourished about 544 bc. though he is not well known, he is the first to speak of metampsychosis (reincarnation) and he is the first philosopher to have identified a primeval god of time. he acknoledged no teacher but says he worked from the revelation of ham and from the secret works of the phoenicians. he identified a trinity of gods, chronos, zas and cthonie. zas is the high god (zeus?) and cthonie is she who is beneath the earth. zas gave cthonie the earth as a cloak of honour, and then married her. so she was ge (gaia). chronos did not marry but somehow produced the remaining three elements of fire, air and water > curiously, chronos had fought another primeval god called ophion (the snaky one) for control of the heavens. chronos had won and cast ophion into the sea and assumed the victors crown. the serpent god was apparently utterly defeated and was not a lingering force of evil. this part of the story sounds babylonian, like tiamat and marduk > ophion (ophin), a titan, was married to eurynome, with whom he shared the supremacy previous to the reign of cronos and rhea; but being conquered by the latter, he and eurynome were thrown into oceanus or tartarus. (apollon. rhod. i. 503, &c.; tzetz, ad lyc. 1191.) there are two other mythical beings of the same name. (ov. met. xii. 245; claudian. rapt. pros. iii. 348.) > alternatively, ophion may have been identified with the titan okeanos (oceanus) and his wife eurynome with tethys. okeanos was usually named as the eldest titan-son of ouranos who was estranged from his brothers. he was depicted with a serpentine (ophion) fish-tail in place of legs and holding a snake (ophis) in his hands if this guy isn't enmesharra, he's kingu.
