Aristocratic Heroism: Greeks, Vikings, Arthurian Knights - Sottotitoli bilingue
Courageous, untroubled, mocking, that is how wisdom wants us.
Wisdom a woman and loves only a warrior.
Imagine Spartan hop lights in blazing armor,
running at full speed towards the enemy,
spear and shield and hand,
muscles gleaming under the sun,
imagine the Vikings,
massive blonde beasts with waves breaking over the prowls of their dragon ships,
off to find glory and new lands,
imagine the medieval knights in their shining armor atop massive battle horses, clad in bright reds and greens, streaking like comets over the green fields.
In Eshinbach's Parceval, when young Parceval sees a knight for the first time, he thinks he sees an angel.
And indeed, these men must have seemed like Superman, demigods among mortals.
It sometimes comes as a shock to me when I realize that such men really did exist and could,
perhaps again,
the makings of such men might be among you or among your sons and grandsons, when it seems that the lower types are winning.
that all life is being poisoned and pulled down by the spirit of gravity.
We look to the ancient heroic cultures,
the Greeks, the Vikings, the of Arthurian legend so that we might revive their heroic values and attitudes in modernity.
To understand ancient ancient Greek, heroic culture, we must look to the Iliad.
The are a collection of warrior kings and their armies laying siege to Troy.
Akiles is one of these kings, he values loyalty and honor above all else.
Akili's divine rage is...
induced by the death of his friend Petroclus.
After avenging Petroclus' death, even knowing that doing so will seal his own, Achilles Petroclus' ghost that their bones will be buried together.
This is a man who honored brotherhood, loyalty, and glory above everything.
thing, even his own life.
It was this kind of brotherhood which was integral for Fallings warfare, and which allowed the Spartans to excel on the battlefield.
To understand the values of the ancient Greeks, we can also look to the story of Hippoclides as recounted to us by Herodotus.
Hippoclides was an Athenian nobleman who gathered with the other noblemen to compete for the hand of the daughter of King Cleisthenes.
Such a competition which was common in the Greek world already shows us that the Greeks valued beauty, athleticism, and wit when considered during marriage.
Herodotus writes that Hippoclides was proving himself to be the best in these suitors'
competitions, but during a feast he got drunk and began to dance on his hands to the flutes, exposing himself.
To this, Cleisthenius said, Son of to Sander, you have just danced away your marriage.
But Hippoclides simply replied, Hippoclides doesn't care, or literally, there is no care for Hippoclides.
This incident perfectly illustrates what Nietzsche meant when he spoke of life in abundance.
Hippoclides excels at the games and customs of the noblemen.
men, but he is not confined by them, like some stuffy aristocrat.
He is careless and mocking, striving to be the best, yet unconcerned with petty gain.
The Norse, like the Greeks, were a heroic seafaring people with a thirst for adventure and glory.
The Vikings were a...
a cast of warrior noblemen.
The Norse didn't send the common people to war, but rather the most noble, showing their willingness to sacrifice the best and strongest among them.
This again is a sign of life in abundance.
The Vikings shared a similar heroic ethic to the Greeks.
They valued honor, freedom, loyalty, and beauty, but what stood out about the Vikings was their carelessness and humor in the face of death.
In the Volsungusaga, Ragnar is captured by the English King Eila and thrown into a snake pit.
Ragnar says to Eila, The young pigs would squeal if they knew the state of the old boar.
This both a humorous remark and a threat about the vengeance of his sons, who indeed would return to avenge his death.
And in the Krakumal, the supposed death song of Ragnar, his final word.
words are, death is not to be feared.
I wish to make an end.
The DC are welcoming me home.
The ones Odin has sent me from Volhul.
I shall gladly drink ale with the gods in the high seat.
Hopes of life are past.
I shall die laughing.
Finally, let us look to the Chivalric knights as described in Arthurian literature.
In Lancelot, a mysterious knight who could be understood as a death or as the king of the king.
Celtic underworld.
Captures Guanavir and is holding her prisoner in the Kingdom of Gore.
I'm summarizing heavily here,
but Lancelot sets out to free her, and in order to do so, must get into a cart driven by a dwarf.
This is extremely shameful, because the cart is yours.
used to parade criminals and degenerates through the streets, so Lancelot hesitates just a moment before getting in.
When he eventually succeeds in freeing Gwen of year, who is his lover, she is very angry with him and will not talk to him.
He thinks this is because he got into the cart and brought shame upon himself.
but she reveals that she is angry with him because he hesitated to get into the cart.
Like Achilles,
we see a man who cares deeply about honor,
jeopardizing his life and his public image for the sake of personal loyalty and devotion, for the sake of love.
However, in the later cycle, articles of Arthurian literature, the ones written by priests.
The knights are made to repent for their deeds of glory from the earlier cycle.
Lancelot is condemned for the very love which was his highest virtue.
The heroic ethic of the knights is replaced by a priestly one in which the virtues of chastity,
self-sacrifice and humility are imposed on the characters and the memory of their heroic manly virtue is condemned.
In modernity the priestly type and their values have prevailed.
These types live off of sick life.
line and decay.
They need us to be sick.
But Schwab and the rest of the managerial elite are not evil lizard people.
We tell ourselves this to make ourselves feel better about our subjugation,
but the elite are the same types as the desk nerds and twitter warriors.
They are the botched rebelling against life.
This is in part what Nietzsche meant when he said we must go beyond good and evil.
The best way to refute the priestly types of our age is not by fighting them on the battleground of morality,
but by showing the world that they are sick,
physically and spiritually, and that they're so-called morals, and all of their aims are a result of this sickness, a desperate grab at power.
Morality and politics are simply mass.
When they come to beat you over the head with their morals and rules, simply laugh and say, Hippoclides doesn't care.
Make a mockery and a laughing stock of them,
expose their small petty souls, and importantly, shame them by example, show them life in abundance, show them the unconquerable, carefree, beauty spirit.
At the sight of this, they will tremble in fear.
As you grow in power and strength, they will gather around you like flies and vultures, but pay no heed to them.
Send them scurrying with the flick of your mane.
Disregard their pestering, and let the men of the past serve as examples to live by, they will fill you with strength and courage.
And perhaps, in time, Superman will walk the Earth again.
