timeless story
Tale for ages
A timeless story transcends its era, remaining meaningful and relevant across generations.
The phrase suggests universal themes—love, loss, ambition, mortality—that resonate regardless of when or where readers encounter them: Romeo and Juliet is a timeless story of young love.
Something described as timeless never feels dated or bound to a particular moment in history.
