Background

Crono lives with his mother (with some woman called Gina in the Japanese version) in Truce Village within the Kingdom of Guardia. He meets Marle at the Millennial Fair by accidentally colliding with her near Leene's Bell. Being the princess of Guardia kingdom in disguise, Marle tells Crono that she is not familiar with the place, and asks to tag along. Later, upon returning to the castle, Crono is accused of kidnapping her by the King's Chancellor. Depending on Crono's actions at the Millenial Fair, he will either be pronounced guilty or innocent by the court. Marle is a playable character in Squaresofts Chrono Trigger. ...

Crono's original element in the Japanese and English version.

Crono's magical type is lightning in the English version of the game. In the original Japanese version, his magical type is specified as Ten (天? "heaven"), which seems to be the holy equivalent of the shadow type. The original classification explains the fact that Crono's magic is not all electrically-oriented, as it appears to include light magic and the occasional healing spell.

Cronos, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com (1736 words)
Cronos was affected, for having attacked his father, by what later came to be called the "Punishment of Neoptolemus", which consists in suffering oneself what one has done to another, or almost.
Apparently Cronos had no reason to disbelieve his wife, for gods are capable of anything, and so Rhea 1, who had laid Poseidon in a flock of lambs to live with them, gave him a foal to swallow instead of the child.
