In Greek mythology, Kronos is a Titan, the god of time and the father of Zeus, while Ananke is a primordial goddess representing necessity, compulsion, and inevitability; they are often paired together, with Ananke being considered the consort of Kronos, and together they are seen as forces that shape the universe and control the flow of time through their intertwined nature, sometimes depicted as serpents encircling the cosmos during creation.

In Simanity, Rheia, the wife of Kronos, finds out about his affair with Ananke and exacts revenge on both of them.
