Greek historians from Herodotus to Polybius viewed historical events as being cyclical in nature. This was the cyclical conception of historical events and empires: which also included a belief in alternating Dark and Golden Ages. Secular cultures within Western Culture followed this view of History (history creates itself and eventually repeats itself-forever). Christianity in its View of God and history, follows a linear view of past events, believing that God is in control of the universe and follows a plan.
