DeVane conflates Central American celebrations of the dead—where bodies are disinterred and venerated—with ancient Greek mythology, using the story of the Titan Kronos, who devoured his own children to circumvent a prophecy that he would be deposed as ruler by his own sons. This myth casts the children as “collateral damage,” the unknowing, often innocent and incidental victims in the power struggles of war, historical and contemporary alike.
