I suspect you are still treating quite a lot of myth as history. What do we really know about Alexander and Philip? They are credited with spreading Greek culture. But they also conquered Greece first of all. Some things I’ve picked up on recently: Euripides identified Alexander as a nickname of Paris of Troy c.400 BC, around the same time that Thucydides named an Alexander as the founder of Macedon, whose son was Perdiccas. These references come 75 years before Alexander the Great was credited with spreading Hellenism worldwide.
One of the very first things he did was found a library and put a bunch of priests and historians to work.
Also Philo, who has no awareness of Julius Caesar, describes Augustus Caesar exactly as if he were Alexander. Supposedly Alexander never sat on the throne of Babylon. But if he did he would have won the title of the emperor, sar-kissatim, literally King of Kish or Kis-sar.
What is the Gordian knot if not a symbol of an intricate yet fragile conspiracy? Gordion was the first capital of Phrygia, the throne of Midas that gave way to the first coins of Lydia and the emperor Croesus who rebuilt the temple of Artemis before his doppelgänger Cyrus stole his glory. The oldest representation of the Phrygian cap, symbol of Paris (aka Alexander), of Rome, of the founding fathers and Jacobins, is found in, you guessed it, Persepolis.
Good point. This is not to justify my total ignorance of history, but since a great deal of the traditional (and not so traditional) historical sources have been re-written, or distorted, or falsified, or are at least strongly biased, then indeed what do we really know about history? We don't even know what's going on today in the world despite the widespread use of internet and the fact that virtually anyone can publish whatever they see or say they see. How can we know what happened 20 centuries ago? Of late I am watching some lectures by revisionist historians where they more often than not admit it's very little what is known for certain, most of all after the recent discoveries on archaeology and other sciences are challenging the traditional sources. As turns out, a huge part of the "accepted history" might be totally wrong.
There is, as a matter of fact, a fantasy game which lets the player become a god, that's Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, where at the end of it the player becomes successor of Bhaal, god of murder. So there is at least something in the fantasy genre which has the archetype implemented.
do you know about the real Baldur? it would be an investigation well worth your time.
if videogames inspire people to look into the source material themselves then i can see the appeal. sadly, it doesnt seem that they do with most gamers.
Suspicion of poison followed the death of many famous people, especially as herbal knowledge was much more widespread in antiquity and indeed until recently.
It was said that Alexander's generals were getting tired of his megalomania, and wanted to enjoy their gains rather than continue campaigning through Arabia and even on to Carthage. Ptolemy was another suspect. He was probably the most far-sighted of the Diadochii, the first to abandon the ambition of becoming 'the strongest' who would take over Alexander's empire, and instead carve off a nice slice for himself as an independent ruler. There's a book whose title and author I have forgotten, which makes the case for Ptolemy as the assassin of Alexander, facilitated by being his 'head of security'.
Maybe Aristotle and his followers would not have liked a World Empire given it's mystical implications and the fact that its prestige would have militated against their preferences. A Greek Empire which had swallowed the Persian one, and subdued all the squabbling Greek city states would just have horrified them.
Hmmm. Ruled by a self-selected oligarchy driven by rational considerations and loyalty to a national culture and identity. Horrible fate or kind of desirable?
"I find myself wondering if the ritual murder of kings might indeed convey power to the cabal of murders who carry it off. It would certainly explain the eerie success that our good friends in little hats have had in the 20th century."
Nah, it's just hard work!
But seriously, I think the Prince of this world has their back, and it looks like he's about to withdraw his support soon.
"The point I am making here is that the secular materialism ideology was a deliberately engineered con for the masses" {sounds of explosion and tear in the matrix}
Rudolf Steiner reveals that Aristotle and Alexander were Ephesian initiates later reincarnated. When alive they both came into contact with the Cabeirian Mysteries in Samothrace at a time when all the ancient Mysteries were in decline.
Here's a lecture by Steiner on it if you're interested.
Evola metaphysical fascism and völkisch ideology through and trough. I saw that somewhere you denied it. How are your convictions different?
I think this only proves that the whole charade with the killing of the Romanovs is a hoax and they safely escaped to their relatives in the West. "It would also explain why the Moscow Patriarchate knowingly switched out the bones of Nicholas II for fakes, come to think of it."
If I try to ignore everything about Plato, Aristotel, etc (I don't feel to be any expert on these topics) and I take only the main theme - "moralitarianism" vs "metaphysics" it is still not a clear cut, something that everyone should just accept as all bad (moralitarianism) vs all good(metaphysics). And I don't agree that morality has no metaphysical basis and reality. I find this explanation of the killing of the king ritual helpful. I know about this, but didn't go into such detail.

wow didnt realize you were a paid sub, welcome.
i literally don't think anything pre 10th century is "real" necessarily. but the legacy of a greek conqueror in the east is quite visible so.

I don't think Rainbow Pill knows about Fomenko and chronological revisionism. I've left comments on his stack urging him to look into it though.
Imma save this one for the weekend to enjoy B-)

No. Do you have any pointers?

Thank you Rurik you are a Great Researcher. You expose many things but some things I don't agree with but that is normal.

No, YOU'RE the real Fascist!
Hahaha, right.
Alexander the Great was an incarnation of the Lord of the Sun, Apollo. Hyperborean Aryan to the core.
