Father Time

In recent centuries he is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, sometimes with wings, dressed in a robe and carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device.

[1] The ancient Greeks themselves began to associate Chronos Protogenos with the god Cronos, who had the attribute of a harvester's sickle.

The wings and hourglass were early Renaissance additions and he eventually became a companion of the Grim Reaper, personification of Death, often taking his scythe.

This theme is related to the idea of veritas filia temporis (Time is the father of Truth).

Father Time is an established symbol in numerous cultures and appears in a variety of art and media.
