Actually the one most used in fantasy is the Back to the Future model because it affords the author the most freedom as far as story and progression go. Almost no one uses the Big Bang Theory version (which was more of a sketch than an actually functioning model) because it is too restrictive to the story to be fun or have any serious stakes.

And that's kind of my point, Kronos wouldn't care what happened to history as long as Zeus was dead and basically every depiction of time travel would allow him to do that except for a precious few models which restrict the functions of time travel so much that it basically doesn't work at all.

And on that subject if The One created a child of Kronos on the theory that the child freed Kronos then Kronos went back in time to sire the child it affords The One very little creative control over the child because their are established events in which the character has to react a certain way and do certain things. Simply put it saps the fun out of playing the character which is about 95% of the point.

Sorry for miss quoting you on that last one but in back to the future they still sent messages to themselves in the present from the past which is where the child comes in and in back the future dr who and most time travel shows meeting yourself is very bad and had a lot of repercussions meeting your child or parents however is fine because he would still be restricted in helping himself stop Zeus from defending him although you are completely right about how it would restrict the possibilities of what you could do with the character
