That's what everybody always says. It's not true though - remember that Saturn = Chronos who, as a chthonic deity, might bid fair to be called a god of the underworld.
Incidentally, I once saw a Greek diner in Brooklyn called "Chronos Diner." I don't know what they served, but Chronos ate his children.
