I don't understand why people put in pictures with captions like that T.T. It's like saying, oh here's an image that is worth 1000 words, but here, let me insert a political/ideological caption which cheapens the image to a singular point of view, or, metaphorically, to 5 words.

Nah, Cronus is referred to as Saturn in those paintings because of the Roman god by the same name, not because of Satan. Greek and Roman names were pretty interchangeable. Both were the son of the sky and earth (Uranus/Gaea for Cronus, Caelus/Terra for Saturn). Both deposed their fathers and married their sisters. Both were the fathers to the gods proper. Both mothafuckin' loved them some scythes. Couldn't tell you why they went with Saturn specifically for the name of the paintings, but... eh. Why Ozymandias and not Ramesses?
