In the realm of hard sciences, time is seen as moving forward towards the future, providing a framework for navigating the entropy and disorder of systems. Time is seen subjectively in the humanities, as Bergson describes it in terms of recursive cycles exposed via sentient experience. From both angles, humanity is inevitably susceptible to time; either they die from entropic dispersion or depersonalizing repetition. Much like science, myth reminds us that time ultimately devours life. But it also points to a possible escape: though Cronus eats his offspring, except for the youngest one, Zeus, who is saved by a stratagem “devised” by his mother Rhea – that is, replacing the baby with a stone. The image of the father suppressing the next generation is then replaced by the myth of the future emerging from the past, when all children are regurgitated by means of another of Zeus’ tricks.
