Leontocephalic Kronos

"At the pinnacle of the divine hierachy and at the origin of all things, the Mithraic theology, the heir of that of the Zervanitic Magi, placed boundless Time. Sometimes they would call it Saeculum or Saturnus; but these appellations were conventional and contingent, for he was considered ineffable, bereft alike of name, sex, and passions."
-Franz Cumont, The Mysteries of Mithra
