Both ideas first appear in proto-European thought in the fragmented writings of Heraclitus in or around the 5th century BCE. The proximity of these ideas to concurrent Jewish ideas of time (related ultimately, according to some, to Mosaic teachings) suggest the Greek and subsequently influential Latin ideas of time (particularly those expressed in Marcus Aurelias’ Meditations) emerged from the prehistoric Egyptian mystery tradition. Ancient Egypt is known to have initiated several presocratic Greek philosophers before their return to the Hellenic world (Waterfield, 2000).
