Summary/Abstract: This paper refers to the category of time in Njegosh’s “The Mountain Wreath”, so as to provide insight into the Platonic distinction between Chronos and Aion. Namely, time, a statistically unmeasured magnitude, is analyzed as transient and eternal through an extraction of syntagms containing a verb or at least an adverb of time. An attempt is made to measure which of the isolated entities can be classified as transient and which as eternal. The purpose of the paper is to indicate a libertarian mentality through the category of time and, once again, confirm the universal dimension of Njegosh’s heroic poem.
