- This monograph develops a new approach to the construction of time in ancient stories of origin (aetia). This is the first monograph dedicated to ancient aetia – a particularly extensive and complex body of material. It shows that aetia are a central element of ancient literature in archaic and Hellenistic Greece, Augustan Rome, and in early Christian literature in a variety of genres, both poetry and prose. It significantly advances our understanding of ancient conceptions of time and stories of origin, and offers a new methodology for studying their implications with regard to time and memory.
