Aion is the Greek god of time

[redsoxdw_]

There are many Greek mythological gods that represent some of the most important concepts in humanity, most importantly: time. Aion is the Greek god of time in addition to Chronos. Most of them share this responsibility, but Chronos came first in the timeline of the Greek gods. He is a symbol of the long reign of the Roman Empire and has a female counterpart known as Aeternitas. I couldn't find much more information, but if someone knows more about him please let me know

On the thread about the wildest Gr. myth, I mentioned Pherecydes. In his cosmogony he posited 3 principles: Zas, ChothoniE and Chronos. There is a later long history about Chronos and Aion -- never resolved as yet: https://www.theoi.com/Protogenos/Khronos.html

How do we experience TIME? IT is not a thing we perceive ..... but -it is the DURATION of a pleasure or a pain, of a disability, of the walking between two houses; the waiting for an arrival; the watching of the sun moving across the sky --which involves REMEMBERING what we observed earlier.... Memory!
