Chronos The Greek God Of Time Bronze Figurine (by Veronese)

In Greek mythology, Chronos (also spelled Khronos or Latinized as Chronus) was the personification of time. He was the primordial god of time who emerged self-formed at the beginning of creation. He represented linear time, as opposed to cyclical time represented by his consort Ananke. Chronos was usually depicted as an old man with a long beard, wings and holding a scythe or an hourglass.
