Position 1 in Its Cycle (Ages)

Ages that stand first in a sequence of declining or unfolding ages, such as the Golden Age of the Greek myth of ages, the First Sun of Aztec cosmology, the age of the Father in the three-age scheme of Joachim of Fiore, the Buddhist age of the true Dharma and the first era of the Jain descending half cycle. An entry belongs here when its tradition places it at the start of its own cycle. Ages are read here as stages of a cosmic or moral cycle, and the group page sets such stages side by side so that the same position in different traditions can be compared.
