Like Zeus who rescued his Olympian siblings to overthrow the old decadent order of his Father, Cronus, the new aristocrats must rise and defeat the modern oppressive order and create a renaissance of heroic power and light. Passage from my upcoming book, 'Aristocratic Spirit':

TELOS- The final cause, or end, of a thing, has never been philosophically disproven. See the study of biology, it can't be conducted without speaking of function, purpose, or directedness- Final causality implies our rational souls are destined for EUDAIMONIA- Soul Flourishing.

in nicomachean ethics (Ἠθικὰ νικομάχεια x.7–8), aristotle argued that contemplation (θεωρία) is the highest form of human happiness (εὐδαιμονία), because it is the activity of νοῦς, the most divine element within human beings.

The tragedy of the artist is that his best art, philosophy, and works come from isolation, suffering, loss, and a world of pure potential not yet realized. His soul dwells in the eternal while bleeding to bring its truth into being. They pay with blood to create—and thus redeem.

'Father Zeus, watching over us from Ida, most high, most honoured, whichever man has made what has happened happen to both sides, grant that he be killed and go down to the house of Hades. Let the friendship and the sworn faith be true for the rest of us.'

"All right, Mr. Gekko. You got me."
There comes a time in every person's life where he either does, or does not, sell his soul.
Either way, it is you who will decide. And it is you who will bear the consequences. So the ancient sages have written.

The difference between the A. Greek appreciator and the classical snob is that the snob uses Greek prestige to status signal.
The appreciator lives vitally, putting philosophy into practice.
He sees the heroes of old as comrades, of what the soul is capable of reaching.

If you are not ready to go to war and bleed for what your heart longs for and desires, then shut the hell up, and leave those with fighting spirit to subdue the forces which you are too cowardly to face.

The Bronze Age Aegean, a world of mystery, wonder, myth, and great deeds- such a well lived spirit of a people has merit enough to live on in our hearts to this day- and it does everytime we read Homer or Hesiod.

The Ancients will never grow old. They are and remain the Pole Star for all our endeavors, whether in literature or in the visual arts, which we must never lose sight of. Shame awaits any age that would presume to set the Ancients aside.

I'd repost this 100 times if I could. Nature watches the young person who strives bravely against evils, both man made or natural, to succeed. Every drop of blood sweat and tear is seen by Providence, and that vital force of valiant striving is both from and respected by, nature.

“We should be satisfied with nothing and stop nowhere. There is no manner of standing still for us in this life, and never has been for any man, however advanced he might be. Above all things, a man must ever be directed toward God's gifts, and ever anew.”
