| Sumario: | The paper investigates the relationship between truth and fate's movement in Polybius' narrative. It has three sections. The first one discusses the articulation between theoretical snippets in which historical truth and ethical statements are associated. The second one discusses pinpoint examples of ethical statements about characters whose acts turn the narrative into an analogous to fate's movement. The last one discusses the articulation between concepts like openness of the past (J. Grethlein), moderate irony (M. Jay), in-determination of multiplicity and movement.This section tries to understand Polybius’ Histories as a “poetical response to the aporetics of time” (M. Soares). |
