Hi Spiros,

There are a number of sources that state Geb and Kronos are connected, especially in Ptolemaic era. However, none explain why. Budge does provide a hint in Gods of the Egyptians vol 2 p100
“from the drops of blood which fell from Ra after the process of mutilation, and Dr. Brugsch compared the action of Osiris in shutting in his father Seb with
the punishment which Kronos inflicted upon his father Uranus because he threw the Cyclopes into Tartarus, and the Ammiu gods had an origin somewhat similar to that of the Erinnyes.
