“Many town-men overestimate their physical courage, because town life rarely gives occasion for a serious test of courage. Goethe is never tired of insisting that only the "active" man learns to know his strength and weakness.”

Pharmakos: Human Sacrifice in Ancient Greece
The ancient Greek term "Pharmakos" (φάρμακος) derives from "pharmakon" (φάρμακον), meaning a substance with the power to heal or, inversely, harm. In a ceremonial context, "Pharmakos" refers to a ritualistic human sacrifice or exile, where a person, often already condemned, was used as a vessel to cleanse the community of its impurities. This sacrificial rite was believed to purify the populace and appease the gods during times of crisis or catastrophe.
During the Thargelia festival in early ancient Athens, which celebrated the birthdays of the divine twins, Apollo and Artemis, and marked the beginning of the grain harvest, the Pharmakos ritual took on a particularly dramatic and gruesome form. This festival, practiced from at least the 6th century BC to as late as the 5th century BC, involved a ritual described by Hipponax of Kolophon, an ancient Greek poet. He provides a vivid account: two of the ugliest people in the city, whose appearance was seen as a sign of divine disfavor and a blight to the community, were chosen for ritual sacrifice. Adorned with fig necklaces, these wretched souls were paraded through the streets and subjected to beatings by the populace with fig-wood sticks. This public spectacle of suffering, somewhat reminiscent of the "auto-da-fé" of the much later Spanish Inquisition, aimed to transfer the community's impurities onto these individuals. Ultimately, their execution was believed to purify and sanctify the greater community.
The ritual's crescendo was as gruesome as it was symbolic. The chosen men were led to the seashore, a liminal space believed to be a threshold between worlds, where they were stoned to death or summarily drowned by the community. Their bodies were then burned, and the ashes were either cast into the sea or scattered over the fields, symbolizing the dispersal of the community's miasma, a form of spiritual pollution.
There is some debate about the accuracy of Hipponax’s account. Like many ancient sources who wrote about earlier events, the temporal distance between his writings and the actual performance of the ritual has led to varying interpretations.
Despite these doubts, the essence of the Pharmakos ritual remains clear: it was a momentous act of communal expiation and Hellenic religious piety, deeply rooted in the belief that sacrificing a human life could invoke divine favor and bring about renewal.
Blessed are the Bold for they shall be masters of the world—
Cursed are the Humble for they shall be trodden under hoofs.
—Ragnar Redbeard, Might is Right
"But you have there the myth of the essential white America. All the other stuff, the love, the democracy, the floundering into lust, is a sort of by-play. The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted."
— D. H. Lawrence, Studies in Classic American Literature (1923)
“Didn't you know? In each of your actions the history of everything that has happened is repeated in condensed form.”
— Nietzsche
“Because the Romans did in these instances what all prudent princes ought to do, who not only have to regard present troubles, but also future ones, for foreseen, it is easy to remedy them; but if you wait until they approach, the medicine is no longer in time because the malady has become incurable. […]
Therefore, the Romans, foreseeing troubles, dealt with them at once, and not even to avoid a war would they let them come to a head, for they knew that war is not to be avoided, but is only to be put off to the advantage of others. They wished to fight with Philip and Antiochus in Greece so as not to have to fight them in Italy. And at the time they could have avoided both wars, but this they did not wish. Nor did they care for that which is forever on the lips of the wise ones of our time, namely, that for one’s own benefit one has to bide one’s time, but always they immediately wanted to exploit their own strength and insight. For time drives everything before it, and can turn something that is bad into something good, but also something good into something that is bad.” —Machiavelli, The Prince, CH3.
