The pleased reader will also observe that the phallus of Ouranos is the
sun (Tiele), that Cronos is the sun (Sayce), that Cronos mutilating
Ouranos is the sun (Hartung), just as the sun is the mutilated part of
Ouranos (Tiele); _Or_ is, according to others, the stone which Cronos
swallowed, and which acted as an emetic.



My Lack of Explanation of Cronos


Now, I have offered no explanation at all of who Cronos was, what he was
god of, from what race he was borrowed, from what language his name was
derived. The fact is that I do not know the truth about these important
debated questions. Therefore, after speaking so kindly of our method,
and rejecting the method of Mr. Max Muller, Professor Tiele now writes
thus (and _this_ Mr. Max Muller does cite, as we have seen):--

'Mr. Lang and M. Gaidoz are not entirely wrong in claiming me as an
ally. But I must protest, in the name of mythological science, and of
the exactness as necessary to her as to any of the other sciences,
against a method which only glides over questions of the first
importance' (name, origin, province, race of Cronos), 'and which to
most questions can only reply, with a smile, C'est chercher raison ou
il n'y en a pas.'
