The Mutilation of Uranus by Saturn
Giorgio Vasari & Cristofano Gherardi, c. 1560
Fresco by Giorgio Vasari and Cristofano Gherardi in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. It depicts the primal act of the succession myth as told in Hesiod's Theogony: Saturn (Cronus) wields the sickle against his father Uranus, the primordial sky, ending the sky-god's reign over the cosmos.
Aion–Uranus in the Zodiac Wheel (mosaic)
Unknown (Roman), c. 250 AD
Roman floor mosaic from Sentinum in Italy, now in the Glyptothek in Munich. The youthful god of eternal time, Aion — here identified with Uranus as lord of the heavens — stands inside the wheel of the zodiac, while the earth goddess reclines below with her children, the seasons.
