- growth or natural development
Meaning
Kronos is invoked as diminution of growth at XIII.7, in contrast with generation in the same line. The noun concerns coming to maturity or natural development. It is distinct from φύσις and should not acquire all the latter's cosmological uses merely because the roots are related.
