Abstract

The conflict between Man and Time: An Analytical Study for the Ninety-seventh satire "Sexagesis" of Varro' Saturae MenippeaeThe 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.
