Within Greek mythology is the time associated with movement and change, relationship collected Aristotle and Plato. This close link was designed by three deities, Aion, a deity and perfect all the time, representing eternity, Chronos, the god time while empirical dimension, and therefore its measure. Mobile is a deity, limited and imperfect, an image, according to Plato's own eternity, and Kairos, understood as the auspicious moment as an opportunity not regular or usual. Aion
initially associated with the vital time, but ended up appointing Eternity, as shown in Heraclitus, duration without beginning or end all of all time simultaneously. This eternity is the simultaneous presence and without succession, without being defined by a list of its different parts, why is conceived as transcendent or which is beyond time. The Greeks conceived as a perfect time, particularly in relation to its image, Chronos, a time characterized as imperfect and subsequent presence. In any case, both are needed for the existence of time. Aion was personified in two different ways in classical antiquity, as an elder, lord of time and the immutable, eternal and perfect, and as a young person holding a zodiac which circulated through the seasons, reflecting a cyclical movement that symbolized the perfection of movement and linking everything together. Chronos
personified chronological time, that of an orderly succession, and therefore the clocks that measure. He was the god of the progressive aging, and related to agriculture and its seasonal cycle. As an entity, caused the final separation between the divine, heavenly and earthly-human, giving rise to the cosmic order that is imposed on the original chaos. He was usually depicted as an old man, or as a mature adult, attitude and posture in a pensive or meditative. The term was used Kronos by Homer with the intention to designate a certain time interval, although further allude to all finite lengths. Thus, the succession became known in its abstract universality. It was a time characterized by the mobile, the finite, imperfect, and the measurable, the stream of human time, with its beginning and its end. Kairos
was understood by ancient Greeks as a rather short time interval, but not like this instant or current that flow Chronos and Aion, but as the right time or favorable, fair, balanced and moderate and even ethical ( as could be glimpsed in Hesiod). He joined the primary quality of the athlete, the advantage of knowing the time to win a competition. Is the time of the decisions for human activity and human action blended with the rhythm of a natural process. It refers, therefore, the precise timing, but not predestined. The traditional image of Kairos was a teenage male, somewhat elusive, winged, bald or with a lock of hair as a fringe, that moves on wheels or because of their winged feet, and maintains a balance in imbalance his left hand. This picture symbolizes something that only happens once, the precise timing.
In short, the ideal of perfection and not immutable successive Eternity Aion or understood as a present simultaneous of all time, its imperfect picture, Chronos, a time lag abstract succession in which life flows, and when human action that takes advantage of the opportunity, as personified by Kairos, a favorable moment in human action are the three mythical conceptions of time in ancient Greece, the last two being specially referred to and used by history.
