THE GERMAN PHILOSOPHER FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE BRAVELY ADMITS THE INTERCHRONICAL HELLENIC (GREEK) SUPERIORITY

Friedrich Nietzsche, “The Genesis of Tragedy”, Chapter XV, 1872:

«It is proven that in every period of its evolution, Western European Civilization tried to free itself from the Hellenes (Greeks). This effort is full of deep frustration, because no matter what (the Europeans) created, seemingly creative and worth-admiring, would loose color and life when compared with the Hellenic model, would shrink, would end up looking like a cheap copy, a caricature. So repeatedly, a wrath injected with hatred, bursts out against the Hellenes, against this small and arrogant nation who had the nerve to name “Barbaric” (for every era) whatever was not created in its land.

But who, at last, are these whose historic glory has been so temporary, their principles so strict, their ethics so restricted if not unacceptable, and who demand an excellent position amongst nations, a position above the crowd? No-one from their re-appearing enemies had the luck to discover an effective poison-recipe, with which we could get rid of them once and for all. All the poisons of jealousy, hubris, cursing, hatred, have been proven insufficient to disturb their magnificent beauty.

So, people continue to feel shame and fear against Hellenes. Of course, every once in a while, somebody appears who recognizes integrally the truth, the truth that teaches that the Hellenes are the charioteers of every oncoming civilization and almost always the chariots as well as the horses of the oncoming civilizations are of a too low quality compared with the charioteers Hellenes, who eventually work out leading the Chariot into the Abyss, which (Abyss) they overcome with an Achillean leap».
