The God of Sleep

 


According to Hesiods Theogony, which was written in about 700 BC, Hypnos is the god of sleep, the son of Nyx (Night) and brother of Thanatos (Death). Like the latter, he lives where Night and Day meet and where Atlas is holding up the heavens. But while the merciless Thanatos has a heart of iron, Hypnos sweeps across land and sea, bringing peaceful and friendly sleep to men.

Hypnos, who according to Ovid (Metamorphoses 11.623) is the “gentlest” of the gods, is depicted as a naked youth, hurrying as though in flight, his torso bent forward and his right foot touching the ground only with its toes. In his outstretched right hand he is holding a horn from which a sleep-inducing liquid flows; his lowered left hand holds poppy capsules. Large wings, like those of the messenger of the gods, Hermes, are growing out of his full head of hair, which is held together by a band across his forehead and tied together in a knot at his neck. The sweeping gesture of his outstretched right arm corresponds to his right leg, which stretches backwards, while his left forearm points in the same direction as the left leg, on which his weight is resting.

The statuette is a smaller copy of a Greek original. The best-known copies are those in Madrid (marble) and London (bronze head), but unfortunately the original is not mentioned in the Classical literary sources. It is usually linked to artists of the 4th century BC (Praxiteles, Scopas, Leochares), but given the complexity of the motion depicted, it could also have been created in the later Hellenistic period.

The statuette comes from the collection of Joseph Angelo de France, who under Empress Maria Theresa was “director-general of the imperial and royal treasury, galleries and other precious collections”. He died in 1761, and his extensive collection of Classical bronzes was acquired from his heiress in 1808 for the Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities.

Black is The Night



 BLACK IS THE NIGHT 

Black is the night on the mountains 

Snow fall on the rocks. 

In the dark, in the wild nature, on the rough stones, the narrows, the klepht hits his sword.

In his right hand holds a thunderbolt.

The mountain is his palace, the sky his covering and the gun his hope.

The tyrants flee scared by his black knife.

With sweat rains his bread, he knows how to live with honor, and how to die.The wiliness runs the world and the unjust fate.

The bad owns the wealth and here on the rocks resides, the hidden virtue.

---

Origin: March of the Hellenic Army

Poetry by: Alexandros Rizos Ragavis

Theme: Based on the life of Hellenic fighters (Klephtes) of the revolution of 1821.

The Soul of Chivalry

 



IN THE MIDDLE AGES OF EUROPE, numerous knightly orders emerged, their esoteric secrets kept only for the initiates. Their adepts were steeped in the prowess of warriors, but had a strict code of honour and piety that governed their conduct. The practice of these virtues was the aim of chivalry, and the goal was nothing less than the transformation of the knight into a type of fighting ascetic seeking the Holy Grail.

World of Tradition Films and PhilosophiCat Present a Cat Weiss feature-length documentary on knighthood in the Middle Ages of Europe.

The German Advance in Greece


Continuing from the previous post. From the official German propaganda newsreels, broadcasted in April 30 1941. The German advance in Greece. From the northern borders down to Athens.

Again, for decades the propaganda - lies from the so-called allies was that "the enemy is entering into empty towns with the population closed behind their locked houses". 

As you'll see, it happened exactly the oppposite!

Hellas in WW2 - Backstabbed and Sacrificed for the British Intrests

 


Few days ago an intresting article appered in one of the major news sites of Hellas. Its things that we,  National Socialists says for decades now, secrets well-kept by the history as it was written by the victors of 1945. Instead they kept repeating lies such as "we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes fight like Greeks" and crap like that. The truth is that back then, Hellas was backstabbed and sacrificed by its so called "allies" which at the same time they were negotiating with her enemy countries (like Turkey etc).

Here is the full article in english:

https://en.protothema.gr/2025/02/07/how-churchill-provoked-the-german-invasion-of-greece/

Some intresting parts of it:

"Mussolini decided to ask for a ceasefire with the help of the Germans but was blocked by the Foreign Minister and his son-in-law, Ciano. Meanwhile, the Germans, who probably disagreed with the Italian attack on Greece, seeing the tragic position of their allies, attempted to mediate to end the Greco-Italian War, “offering” Greece the territories of Northern Epirus that our Army had occupied."

"The Germans only requested the complete removal of all British forces from Greece. Despite the fact that the German proposal seriously occupied the Greek side, it was not implemented, mainly because the British exerted unbearable pressure on Metaxas to reject it. The death of Metaxas on January 29, 1941, is at least suspicious. In fact, some serious historians and researchers believe that Metaxas was murdered"

"Churchill to Mussolini: “If Italy deemed it appropriate to carry out an operation in Greece, Great Britain would not oppose it”!

"How Churchill hindered the arming of Greece by sending weapons to “neutral” Turkey!"
