Also heard it was good to go tier to Rod instead of starter item sometime too. Then buy the full starter as 6th item. Also heard good feedback with Sundering Axe too.
Pyth is good cause of the percent pen (when you combine pyth, typhon's, tahuti you get a nice 30% pen to pair alongside a possible demonic), health (nice due to Chronos having lower-ish base health and it helps get rewinds off), high base lifesteal (compared to bancroft's without passive and hecate), and it's cheap.
Tier 2 rod start is fine in mid, prob not ideal in adc though. I usually go conduit in mid though for the extra pressure / clear early but it's fine to do the tier 2 tahuti start and play for Sundering late. Which I saw Emilitoo doing in his match history here (if it still shows up): https://awesomesmite.com/god.php?name=Chronos&mode=Conquest

Edit: Actually for Arena you could also go Gem of Focus, and I also think Animosity could be ok specifically in Arena.
Upd. No Archmage`s gem too =DDD We say about Smite?)))
