Did you know that in Ancient Sparta there were laws that prohibited pederasty, even though today some claim it was an institution, something that is not supported by any primary source? Let me show you what's the truth: 1. "I think I should also speak about eros (love) for boys, since this too has to do with education. Other Greeks, either the Boeotians who live together in close pairs of men and boys, or the Eleans who enjoy the bloom of youth, have different customs. Some completely forbid lovers from conversing with boys. Lycurgus, however, in contrast to all these, approved of the following: if a worthy man admired the soul and virtue of a boy and tried to make him a perfect friend and associate with him, he praised this relationship and considered it the best form of education. But if someone appeared to desire the boy’s body, he considered this shameful and legislated that lovers should abstain from their beloved boys in the same way parents abstain from sexual relations with their children or siblings with each other. I am not surprised that some do not believe this, because in many cities the laws do not oppose desires toward boys." Source: Xenophon, Constitution of the Lacedaemonians, Chapter 2 2. "The Spartan love had nothing shameful in it. If ever an adolescent dared to commit lewd acts with another, it was in no one’s interest for the two to disgrace Sparta; they were either exiled from their homeland or, even worse, lost their lives." Source: Claudius Aelianus, Varia Historia, Book 3. 3. "You may take this matter seriously or as a joke, but you must always remember that when a man unites with a woman to produce a child, the pleasure they feel is entirely natural. Homosexual intercourse, however, is contrary to nature and is committed because men and women cannot restrain their desire for pleasure." Source: Plato, Laws 636c. 4. "If someone appeared to desire the body of the boy, Lycurgus considered this very shameful and legislated that the lovers of the boys should abstain from sexual acts (Aphrodisia) as much as parents abstain from their children and brothers from brothers." Source: Xenophon, Constitution of the Lacedaemonians 2.13.5–14.1. 5. "It was permitted to fall in love with the noble soul of a boy, but to approach boys erotically was something shameful and disgraceful, because in that case they loved the body and not the soul. Whoever was convicted of approaching a boy in a shameful erotic way was punished with lifelong atimia (loss of civic rights)." Source: Plutarch, Ancient Customs of the Spartans, Chapter 7. 6. Solon restricted many practices of society that created an atmosphere of “disorder” (lack of order and organization, but also meaning marital infidelity) and “akolasia” (lack of moral restraint and surrender to pleasures, especially sexual ones). The prohibition of excessive female laments and dirges at funerals of strangers aimed to limit excessive passion, which the ancients identified with the emotional female nature and considered dangerous to the male life that had to be based on reason, calculation, and composure. Plutarch specifically notes in the ancient text that it does not befit men to display excessive passion in mourning (but of course nowhere else either), because it was “unmanly” and “womanish” (something that did not fit the Greek ideal). Source: Plutarch, Solon 21.4. I also cite some words from ancient Greek that carried the etymology of "gay" with a very negative meaning: 1. κίναιδος (kinaidos) = κινεῖν τὴν αἰδῶ = the lewd man, the one who stirs pleasure, the fornicator. The "ai" is a diphthong. The one who stirs shame and disgrace for himself. It is derived from moving the shame (αἰδῶ), or from moving the genitals. 2. ἀνδροβάτης (androbates) = ἀνήρ + βαίνω = the active kinaidos (the active homosexual male). 3. ἀρρενοκοίτης (arrenokoites) = ἄρσην + κοι- (from κεῖμαι, to lie down) + -της = the man who lies with males, who has intercourse with men, homosexual ≈ synonyms: sodomite. 4. καταπύγων (katapygon) = κατα- + πυγ(ή) + -ων = lustful, vulgar, worthless, lewd, kinaidos. In short, what I’m saying is that homosexuality and pederasty were not institutionalized practices in Ancient Greece as many say. Rather, they were seen as morally reproachable and, in many cases, legally marginalized as being "against nature." Why do some "historians" and academics insist that homosexuality and pederasty were normal and institutionalized, even though our primary sources prove the opposite? Isn’t that an agenda? I’ve shown you the proof. Now it’s your decision: you can either learn Greek so you can read the truth for yourself from the original texts, or rely on secondary sources from gay activist academics who are pushing their own agenda.

There is an upcoming Greek movie about the Battle of Marathon that is going to be a cinematic experiment. The movie will use the original tongues spoken at the time, Ancient Greek and Old Persian. The name of the upcoming movie is NENIKIKAMEN ("We Have Won"). The film dramatizes the story of the Athenian defense against Persian invasion in 490 BC, a triumph event of patriotism, of freedom over tyranny, unity over division, and courage over fear. Central to this narrative is the legendary figure of Pheidippides, the messenger who is said to have run from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory, crying "NENIKIKAMEN!" ("We have won!") before dying of exhaustion. Unlike most historical dramas that modernize speech for accessibility, this movie will revive the original tongues spoken at the time respecting the linguistic integrity of the historical record. In Greek there is a word for those who love their county and dies for: philopatris/φιλόπατρις < philo/φιλό (love) + patris/πατρίς (country, homeland) From that word in english we say "patriot". It's a greek word. The movie will present children and young audiences, examples of virtue that go beyond superficial heroism. The characters- be they soldiers, leaders, or mythic figures- demonstrate perseverance, responsibility, self-sacrifice, and loyalty to the collective good. These are precisely the role models our youth need in a world that often promotes anarchy, individualism, cynicism, and short-term gain. Today’s children grow up in an environment saturated with commercialized media, rapid digital consumption, and often shallow portrayals of identity and success. An environment that poisons their mind and murders their souls. Historical movies like NENIKIKAMEN can challenge this norm. It tells people that their past matters, that their heritage is a living source of wisdom and strength. You ask why Greece doesn’t produce films. The answer is that Greece does produce films, but it doesn’t have the budget or the technical expertise of Hollywood. So which of you will actually watch this small-scale production to support the effort, so that little by little Greek cinema can start creating independently, without pressure from "certain people" on how the film should be made? Nobody. Because most people have become accustomed to the "spectacular" productions of Netflix and Hollywood, which, however, rot the mind and the spirit. So, this Greek movie by the director Yiannis Stravolaimos (in pre-production stage for now), is a tribute to the values that shaped Greek civilization and, by extension, Western thought. It offers an alternative vision of heroism rooted in virtue, ethics, patriotism, duty, courage, and moral clarity. It reminds us that the past is never truly gone, it lives on in the stories we choose to tell, and in the languages we dare to revive. - Homer Pavlos

Homer is difficult to read, but that’s exactly what makes the journey beautiful. They are annoyed by anything beautiful with values. Since they cannot create anything of their own, they defile and tarnish all the achievements of the past. A slowly dying agenda that makes noise.

Modern society hates Homer. It hates him because his works shaped Western thought and formed the foundation of a civilization built on moral values, religion, and ethics. They want to show you a world without these. They want you sunk in misery with a poisoned, immoral mind.

It is truly mysterious how Christopher Nolan, who insists on "accuracy" in his films, chose the feminist Emily Wilson, who actively supports cultural Marxism and the woke agenda, and her one of the worst translations of Homer’s works as a guide for his new movie. So, I opened up the original ancient Greek text and started comparing it to her translation. It is literally a translation aimed at idiots. I’m not joking. It is full of errors, and the simplifications she makes under the excuse that "it is addressed to a modern society" are ridiculous. It literally targets uneducated people who couldn’t read Homer because they found him either boring or too difficult. Yes, Homer is difficult, but that’s exactly what makes the journey beautiful. I don't care if you can't read him. Not my problem. As a Greek proverb, which goes back to Homer and Plato, says: "χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά", beautiful and excellent things are difficult. I'm not even going to write about her translation. It's disgusting and I don't even care to educate anyone who wants to read her. It's your own problem. But. This lady comes along to convince us that all previous translators were pushing a misogynistic and patriarchal translation that belonged to another era. In her own words from an interview: "she found that many men before her added sexist or misogynist terms that never existed in the original Greek." I'm telling you this. Don't pay to watch the movie "The Odyssey". Show them that their agenda is dead. Hollywood is dead. Woke culture and marxism are dead. They belong to the past. Naturally, this criticism bothers those who have never managed to read Homer in their lives, those whose profiles are full of pronouns like he/him and they/them, and those wannabe communists who carry hammers and sickles, because that is exactly the audience this woman represents. A loud minority of uneducated people who want to destroy everything that contributed to the creation of Western civilization. They are annoyed by anything beautiful and full of values. Since they cannot create anything of their own, they defile and tarnish all the achievements of the past. These uneducated neo-Marxists have embedded themselves in academia, the arts, cinema, schools, news outlets, politics, and music. Everywhere. Wherever there is an opportunity to promote something great that develops the mind and helps with intellectual growth, they are there to stop you from evolving spiritually. But the time has come for us to take matters into our own hands. First step: We take Classical Studies back. They do not belong to them. Do not be afraid to express your opposing opinion just because a community of uneducated people attacks you to silence you. Resist. Learn Greek and evovle spiritually. Awake your soul. Don't be manipulated by those who want to destroy you. An academic who writes "PhD" in their profile no longer means anything at all. It used to be a sacred career. Now some of these academics have destroyed their own credibility, and now the public neither respects nor trusts them. They will lie in the bed they made.

One of the Odyssey's most important lessons comes when Odysseus and his men encounter the Cyclops Polyphemus. At first the situation does not seem dangerous. They land on an island, discover a large cave filled with food and livestock, and begin helping themselves. Odysseus says they should stay and wait for the owner of the cave, because he expects the man to follow the Greek custom of hospitality. In the ancient world a traveler could rely on that custom almost anywhere. Instead, something very different happens. When Polyphemus returns, he blocks the entrance to the cave with a massive stone and begins asking questions. Odysseus explains that they are travellers and reminds him of the sacred duty to treat guests well. Polyphemus laughs at the idea, and tells Odysseus that Cyclopes care not for the gods or their laws. Then he reaches down, grabs two of Odysseus's men, smashes them against the ground, and eats them. The true horror of the scene is the calm way in which Homer describes it. Polyphemus eats the men as casually as someone might eat bread and cheese. Odysseus has wandered into a world where the rules of civilization no longer apply. Now Odysseus faces a serious problem. He cannot simply kill the Cyclops, because the stone blocking the entrance is so large that only Polyphemus himself can move it. If the giant dies, everyone in the cave will remain trapped there forever. The next evening Polyphemus returns again and devours two more men. This time, Odysseus offers him wine that he brought from the ship. The Cyclops has never tasted wine before and drinks it greedily. When Polyphemus asks for Odysseus' name, Odysseus gives one of the cleverest answers in all of literature: he tells the giant that his name is "Nobody." The wine soon takes effect. Polyphemus collapses into a drunken sleep, and Odysseus and his men put their plan into motion. They sharpen a massive wooden stake, heat it in the fire until it glows, and then drive it straight into the Cyclops' single eye. Homer describes the sound of the burning wood hissing inside the eye like iron plunged into cold water. Polyphemus screams so loudly that the other Cyclopes come running to the cave and ask what is wrong. The giant shouts that "Nobody" is attacking him. Hearing this, the other Cyclopes assume he must be sick or mad, and they leave him alone. In the morning, Polyphemus rolls the stone away from the entrance so his sheep can leave the cave. He runs his hands over their backs to make sure the men are not escaping. What he does not realize is that Odysseus has tied each man underneath the sheep, hanging beneath their woolly bellies. The animals walk out of the cave and carry the Greeks with them. It is a brilliant escape, but Odysseus makes one mistake. Once the ship has sailed safely away, he cannot resist shouting back at the Cyclops. He reveals his real name and boasts about what he has done. Polyphemus then prays to his father, the sea god Poseidon, asking him to punish Odysseus for the injury. That single moment of pride ends up shaping the rest of the Odyssey. Poseidon hears the prayer, and from that point on the sea itself seems determined to keep Odysseus from ever reaching home. His intelligence saves him and his men from certain death, but his pride creates new dangers that follow him for years. Even the cleverest man can ruin his own victory if he cannot resist the temptation to pride... --- Join our online book club and study the classics with us!

Most of you know the Delphic maxim "ΓΝΩΘΙ ΣΑΥΤΟΝ" (Know Thyself). In the grammar of the Greek language, the verb is in a tense no longer used today: the Aorist (past) Imperative (and on 2nd person singular, active voice). The question now is: how is it possible to command someone in the aorist (past) tense? Commanding someone in the aorist is very powerful, yet quite common in "Ancient" Greek. It is a deliberate choice that changes the very nature of the exhortation. In Greek Philosophy, the Delphic maxims are considered "commands of Apollo." Through these maxims, the philosophers demand that you, the student, become better. So when it commands you to know yourself: 1. It is not interested in duration, but in the result or the beginning of the action. 2. "Begin to know" - "Come and know." 3. Do it. Now. Do not postpone it. They did not want a mild, philosophical piece of advice like "try to know yourself a little every day." The Delphic maxim commands you and says: "Wake up. Finally realize who you really are YESTERDAY." Proclus writes: "Just as the inscription at the entrance to the Eleusinian sanctuary announced that the uninitiated and the unperfected should not enter the inner sanctum, so too the inscribed ‘Know Thyself’ at the entrance of the Delphic temple declared the way of the upward journey toward the Divine and the most beneficial and effective path that leads to purification. It says, almost plainly to those who can understand, that the one who knows himself, beginning from his own hearth, can come into contact with the god who reveals the whole truth and is the leader of the purifying life. On the contrary, the one who is ignorant of who he is, being uninitiated and unperfected, is unfit to partake in the providence of Apollo." - Proclus, Commentary on Plato’s First Alcibiades, Book I, 5.3–5.12 And we also have this passage from Xenophon, where Socrates, the main teacher of the maxim "Know Thyself", says the following: SOCRATES: Tell me, Euthydemus, have you ever visited the Oracle at Delphi? EUTHYDEMUS: Yes, by Zeus, I have visited it twice. SOCRATES: So when you entered the temple, you had the opportunity to see the inscription "Know Thyself"? EUTHYDEMUS: Of course I saw it. SOCRATES: And after that, what did you do? Did you take care to follow the command of the inscription, or did you make no attempt at all to approach yourself, so as to see who you really are? EUTHYDEMUS: By Zeus, not at all. For I am not so childish or ignorant as to not know who I am. I assumed that I knew myself. I mean, is it possible not to know oneself? SOCRATES: But perhaps what you know is only the name of yourself, that is, your external characteristics, while you remain ignorant of your real abilities (those hidden in your soul). Shouldn’t you examine yourself in the same way one does when wanting to buy a horse? Besides its external appearance, one must also be interested in a series of particular traits and qualities: whether it is obedient and disciplined or disobedient and unruly; whether it is strong and manageable or weak and difficult to control; and also whether it can run fast or tires easily. For just as one would want to learn all these qualities of a horse, in the same way one must want to learn the corresponding expected qualities of one’s own self. Do we really know, then, what our own worth and power are? EUTHYDEMUS: It seems, Socrates, that whoever does not proceed to apply "Know Thyself" will necessarily remain ignorant of his own inner powers as well. - Xenophon, Memorabilia, Book IV, 24 Thanks for reading me, Homer Pavlos

Iphigenia of Euripides by the Greek Michael Cacoyannis is one of the greatest (and most underrated) movies ever made. Made by Greeks, in the Greek language, with Greek actors, and with love and passion for our history. Why we stopped?

To be clear. There is no good and bad Islam. There is Islam, and besides being a religion, it is also a political ideology. Its purpose is the destruction and conquest of the whole world. Not just the West, but also Africa, Asia, Australia, literally the whole world. When Constantinople fell, Muslims were declaring Jihad from the City. Jihad was commanding the conquer against the infidels. You are a fool if you think they don’t think about it. They haven’t changed. The last jihad that was declared form Constantinople was in 1914, almost 100 years ago. Any Muslim who tells you otherwise is lying. Islam commands: either you become a believer, a slave or you die. That's why combat-ready young men come illegally to Europe and the Western civilization; otherwise, they would stay in the East and the Muslim countries. Conquest was the goal from the beginning. They can't go in war with the West, so they make their women birth-machines, they kill, they murder, they rape, they steal and they destroy every value in your countries. Resist, or you will disappear; just as every nation who did not fight for its survival disappeared. Act before you go to meet the Sumerians in the abyss of non-existence and become merely a page in the history books. Also, NEVER forget my words: No discussion and debates with the enemy, with those who want you dead or enslaved - you, your women, and your children. No discussion either with those traitors who help their plan. This is important.
