The Emergence of Time in Latin Literature
Journal Title: Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic & Genetic Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
During the thirteenth century BC, the Lydians, who were Greeks of Asia Minor, were compelled by famine to emigrate to what is now Tuscany, where they established a new civilization with the native population. According to the Greek historian Herodotus (484-425), these were the Etruscans. (Book I, 94) . Their alphabet derived from Greek in the eighth century BC and it gave the Roman alphabet in the seventh century BC (Frédérix, Ch I). In order to situate themselves in relation to what they observed, the Romans unknowingly started conceptualizing some current phenomena and some familiar events. In this way and step by step, they enriched their language by introducing new concepts. The Latin literature allows one to observe the emergence of temporality in the Roman civilization, as well as to follow its gradual development. The Calends was the first day of the lunar month. We find Calendae in Cicero (106-43) and Calendae Martiae (the Calends of March)in Horace (65-8 AD).
