Saturn
Saturn was the god of agriculture and viticulture in Roman mythology. He was said to have ruled the earth during the mythological Golden Age when he taught agriculture to humanity. He became associated with the titan Cronus, the father of the gods in Greek mythology. Saturn was often depicted carrying a scythe.
