الصراع بين الإنسان و الزمن : دراسة تحليلية للهجائية السابعة و التسعين "Sexsgesis" من ديوان الساتورا المينيبية لفارو

الملخص EN

The conflict Between Man and Time is an eternal conflict in which Time often defeats man, Because Human can’t complet his life without Time, but Time passes without Human.

Many literary and philosophical writings have dealt with this conflict, and I have tried through this study of the satire (Sexagesis) by Marcus Terentius Varro to explain his vision of Time and its relationship with man, and how Time affected the satire’s hero, and what changes he listed to clarify the past time has become now, and reasons that prompted Varro to using time in comparison.

Varro presents through this satire”Man’s conflict with Time” as he embodied through the old man’s character the features of the past and the present.

Moreover, he explains the inevitability time’s victory and of its Human’s oppression.

Varro was constantly caring about Rome’s past, he was always nostalgic for the past, and he compared it with the current state in which Rome was.

Therefore, we can consider his writings in the Roman past as an attempt to put Roman culture equal for Greek culture, and his return back with his writings, especially in this satire, is evidence the position of Rome that he whould like to see at his time.

Thus, the main subject of the satire (Sexagesis) based on conflect between ancient customs and modern, based on the disparity of time, as it embodies the conflict between Man and Time.

Finally, it becomes clear that Time is closely related to the place in which it revolves, the relationships of Time unfold in the place, and the place is measured by time, meaning that Time may become avisible artistic thing and the place merges with the movement of time.

This literary mixture between them is what distinguishes literature and art with different spatiotemporal values in its degree and size.

Thus, we can affirm that every partial subject and every fragmentary moment of the satire is an artistic value in itself.

This is what Varro did through his satire when he linked between Time and Place.

He used two different times, the past and the present, to describe place “Rome”.

Although the place is the same, but time’s actions in that place have changed and he can’t accept or even coexist.
