In Greek mythology, Cronus, or Kronos, was the leader and youngest of the first generation of Titans, the divine descendants of Uranus, the sky, and Gaia, the earth. He overthrew his father and ruled during the mythological Golden Age, until he was overthrown by his own son Zeus and imprisoned in Tartarus. According to Plato, Phorcys, Cronus and Rhea were the eldest children of Oceanus and Tethys.
Cronus was usually depicted with a harpe, scythe or a sickle, which was the instrument he used to castrate and depose Uranus, his father. In Athens, on the twelfth day of the Attic month of Hekatombaion, a festival called Kronia was held in honour of Cronus to celebrate the harvest, suggesting that, as a result of his association with the virtuous Golden Age, Cronus continued to preside as a patron of harvest. Cronus was also identified in classical antiquity with the Roman deity Saturn.

Cerberus
KERBEROS (Cerberus) was the gigantic, three-headed hound of Haides which guarded the gates of the underworld and prevented the escape of the shades of the dead.
Kerberos was depicted as a three-headed dog with a serpent's tail, mane of snakes, and a lion's claws. According to some he had fifty heads although this count may have included the serpents of his mane.
Herakles (Heracles) was sent to fetch Kerberos as one of his twelve labours, a task which he accomplished with the aid of the goddess Persephone.
Kerberos' name perhaps means "Death-Daemon of the Dark" from the ancient Greek words kêr and erebos.
Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May
by : Robert Herrick
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he's to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime
You may for ever tarry.
> Summary : From the title, we can tell that the speaker is addressing this poem to a group of virgins. He's telling them that they should gather their "rosebuds" while they can, because time is quickly passing. He drives home this point with some images from nature, including flowers dying and the sun setting. He thinks that one's youth is the best time in life, and the years after that aren't so great. The speaker finishes off the poem by encouraging these young virgins to make good use of their time by getting married, before they're past their prime and lose the chance.
The Wolf and Seven Young Kids
The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats"
(German: Der Wolf und die sieben jungen Geißlein) is a fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, tale number 5. It is Aarne-Thompson type 123, but has a strong resemblance to The Three Little Pigs and other Aarne-Thomspson type 124 folktales, and to the variant of Little Red Riding Hood that the Grimms collected, where she is rescued.
> Synopsis : “The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats” is one of the most famous fairytales from the Grimm’s magnificent world of fairytales. The main characters are animals. The wolf represents a violent and evil person that wants to hurt innocent children. The Goats are the innocent children that listen to their parents but because of lack of experience they fall right into the wolf’s trap.
The fairytales can be easily used on today’s situations where new dangers are trying to take advantage of children. The fairytale, like every other, has a happy ending in which the good characters are saved and the bad ones are punished.
On the other side the story tells us how crafty and wise children can be. One goat stands out in the story because he managed to outsmart the wolf and save himself. The wolf would have eaten them all but the goat hid himself and showed that strength and size aren’t the most important things in life.

Tangled
Tangled is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy-comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Loosely based on the German fairy tale "Rapunzel" in the collection of folk tales published by theBrothers Grimm, it is the 50th Disney animated feature film. Featuring the voices of Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, The film tells the story of a lost, young princess with long magical hair who yearns to leave her secluded tower. Against her mother's wishes, she accepts the aid of a handsome intruder to take her out into the world which she has never seen.
Before the film's release, its title was changed from Rapunzel to Tangled, reportedly to market the film as gender-neutral. Tangledspent six years in production at a cost that has been estimated at $260 million, which if accurate, would make it the most expensive animated film ever made and the fifth most-expensive film of all time. The film employed a unique artistic style by blending together features of computer-generated imagery (CGI) and traditional animation while using non-photorealistic rendering to create the impression of a painting. Composer Alan Menken, who had worked on prior Disney animated features, returned to score Tangled.

We Ain't Getting Any Younger
by: Jim James
You got the whole wide world
They got it from you
You can talk about it all you want
But what you gonna do
Time's your oyster
The grave is always getting closer
We ain't gettin' any younger
We ain't gettin' any younger
We ain't gettin' any younger
We ain't gettin' any younger
Looked to roam
Went too far
There at the edge of the world
Things went south
Down and out
There at the edge of the world
Seasons changed
Time got strange
There at the edge of the world
We got close to the source
For better or worse
There at the edge of the world
You got the whole wide world
Laid out in front of you
You can talk about it all you want
But what the fuck you're gonna do
Time's your oyster
The grave is always getting closer
We ain't gettin' any younger
We ain't gettin' any younger
We ain't gettin' any younger
We ain't gettin' any younger
And you take it for granted
Until its taken away
We're all pressed out the same mold
The story's already been told
This world is war and blood
When it could have been love
When it could have been love
And all you learn to forget
That this never happened
And when the new world start again
Peace ripped into pieces
Peace ripped into pieces
Peace ripped into pieces
Peace ripped into pieces
We gotta pull it back to get it again
Peace written to pieces
We're about to get it again
Peace ripped into pieces
We gotta pull it back to get it again
Peace ripped into pieces
We're about to get it again
Peace ripped into pieces
