Olympos kai chronos to auto. Sulle tracce del tempo nel papiro di Derveni

Among the several issues posed by the XII col. of the P.Derveni, the particular association between Olympos and time seems to deserve more attention. After explaining the textual reasons which make unlikely a deification of khronos, it will be worthwile looking for a role played by the time in the author’s thought. This will allow to show the strict relation existing between the cosmic divinity and the conception of temporality, as it has been developed both in the cosmological and in the theological level of the exegesis.
