In mythology, Saturn was a very old Roman god (the Greek god Cronus). Saturn was said to have come from Greece to Italy in early times, when Jupiter dethroned him and hurled him from Olympus. Saturn then established himself on the site of the future Rome. Saturn taught people how to cultivate the ground, and was depicted with a scythe. He was however, sometimes considered as the god of the Underworld. The Tarot card associated with Saturn is The World.
