Aion (deity)
Aion ((ギリシア語:Αἰών)) is a Hellenistic deity associated with time, the orb or circle encompassing the universe, and the zodiac. The "time" represented by Aion is unbounded, in contrast to Chronos as empirical time divided into past, present, and future.〔Doro Levi, "Aion," ''Hesperia'' 13.4 (1944), p. 274.〕 He is thus a god of eternity, associated with mystery religions concerned with the afterlife, such as the mysteries of Cybele, Dionysus, Orpheus, and Mithras. In Latin the concept of the deity may appear as ''Aevum'' or ''Saeculum''.〔Levi, "Aion," p. 274.〕 He is typically in the company of an earth or mother goddess such as Tellus or Cybele, as on the Parabiago plate.〔Levi, "Aion," p.〕
==Significance==
Aion was of major importance in late antiquity when Hellenistic religion underwent a syncretistic phase with various deities converging on a single supreme God. Aion, identified with Eros in mythology, became recognized as the supreme God of Hellenistic religion and philosophy, existing above all Gods of the pantheon and the empire.〔A Summary of Pythagorean Theology John Opsopaus © 2002-4〕
