Αἰών (Aion)

Αἰών (Aion) in ancient Greek philosophy and religion refers to a concept of an unending, divine age or cycle, often representing eternity, an eras, or a period within the cosmos' development. Unlike a finite lifespan, Aion signifies a span beyond human comprehension of time, embodying the eternal, cyclical nature of the universe and divine realms.

This term underscores the idea of a continuous, everlasting cycle that transcends human temporal understanding.
