摘要：It is simplistic to oppose a circular idea of time among the ancient Greeks to the linear time of the Judeo-Christian tradition. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, linear time appears in combination with a history understood as oriented toward a predetermined, revealed end. Moreover, there also appears in this tradition a concept of repetitive time. In contrast, in classical Greece the concept of circular time coexisted with that of a secular, linear historical time, of which Herodotus and Thucydides are the leading representatives. It is true, though, that this concept of time was not the prevailing one in classical Antiquity; it only dominated the literature in the periods of rapid and deep political transformations, such as those that affected Athens in the 5 th century B. C. Nonetheless, the teleological concept of time is absent in the Greek tradition. The historical narrative, as we understand it today, would only emerge in the 19 th century, in connection with the mature development of capitalism. Classicism can no longer be viewed as a monolithic phenomenon that produced models for the rest of humankind in its long historical unfolding.
