Abstract In his painting Saturn, Goya has transformed the traditional myth version – stripped divinity of its attributes and transferred it into a universal dimension, causing an image of a father devouring his own children to start being interpreted in new socialpolitical contexts. The reception of the Saturn myth through Goya's artwork is also demonstrated in the Spanish cinema.
