== Etymology == Although "krios" was also the ancient Greek word for "ram",<ref>''[[Brill's New Pauly]]'', [https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/brill-s-new-pauly/crius-e623220 s.v. Crius].</ref> the Titan's [[chthonic]] position in the [[Greek Underworld|underworld]] means no classical association with [[Aries (constellation)|Aries]], the ram of the [[zodiac]], is ordinarily made.{{Citation needed|date=August 2010}} <!--a classical connection needs to be explicit: Crius was the titan of constellations.--> At the time of Ancient Greece, Aries was the first visible constellation in the sky at the spring season, marking the start of the new year in the ancient Greek calendar.
