Kronos, in Greek mythology, is recognized as the Titan of time. Unlike modern fictional characters who can travel through time at will, such as Doctor Who, Kronos has limited control over time. He occasionally can alter the perception of time, making it feel longer or shorter at times. This ability places him at the center of many people's experiences with time in everyday life.

For instance, during tedious lectures that seem to drag on endlessly, one might find themselves blaming Kronos for the sensation of time stretching. Conversely, when a weekend passes by in the blink of an eye, it's also thought to be influenced by him. In this way, Kronos's role highlights how time can feel relative to our experiences and activities, making him a significant figure in the context of human perception of time.
