Thank you for all these posts which are thought provoking and cathartic for this New Year. My initial impression of infant Zeus/Kronos relationship was the need to finish old business before being able to move on to the next. I’m not sure how it plays out symbolically–perhaps the danger in holding on to the past is represented by the rescue of Zeus from Kronos to the Nurturing grotto, and the need to finish projects/duties of the past (or honoring the past) as Zeus’ leaving the cave and releasing his siblings in the “cave” of Kronos’ belly?
Again, thanks to all for adding depth to Old Man/Baby New Year pop reference.
