"Kronos was eating away all that was archaic and irrational in his own progeny, sparing only those predestined for a radiant future. Suddenly, he lost his voracious appetite. Now he needs to ask himself if he is able to cohabit with his own sons who unlike their father they need to learn to live with him. They can get rid of nothing and of no one."
Rephrasing, paraphrasing, metaphrasing Latour, following his Greek Mythological adventure.
