HOMER ON COMPETITION

Abstract

1 Cf. Nietzsche 1996b, 317: “[A]ny Russian book – above all Dostoevsky (translated into French, for heaven’s sake not German!) – I count among my greatest moments of pleasurable relief.” 2 Stendhal 2002, 103: “Ah! he cried, Napoleon truly was the man sent by God for the youth of France! Who will take his place?” – Hegel 1984, 114: “I saw the Emperor – this world-soul – riding out of the city on reconnaissance. It is indeed a wonderful sensation to see an individual, who, concentrated here at a single point, astride a horse, reaches out over the world and masters it.” HOMER ON COMPETITION
