How did ancient peoples think of time?

by wesley6143

Did they think time had a beginning and an end? Or did all of time repeat itself like a big time circle? And when they wrote history, did they write it in the order of events happening, or just write in a stream of conciseness style with what they remembered

So as a matter of lucky coincidence there was a question I saw a little while ago that caught my interest, with an answer from u/ARealFool,

More can always be said of course, and I'd be curious to hear other answers since I'll be honest that I'm still a little fuzzy on the idea (I've actually bought one of the books they referenced but haven't read it yet).
