The Dispossessors Strike at Homer

Revisionist scholars now rewrite Homer's Odyssey to sever its hero from his fatherland and household, recasting the epic as a tale of rootless wandering. This assault on the foundational text of Western literature reveals the same spirit that dismantled the altars and borders of Christendom.

The ideological revisionists have fixed their gaze upon Homer. In universities and publishing houses they labor to detach Odysseus from Ithaca, transforming the ancient hero's perilous return into a celebration of perpetual exile and cultural dissolution.

Their method is familiar. They strip the epic of its patriarchal order, its love of fatherland, and its unyielding demand that a man reclaim his household and throne. What remains is a sanitized narrative useful only to the managerial class that seeks to dissolve every inherited loyalty.

Yet the Odyssey stands as the West's first and clearest literary witness to the sacred bond between a man, his people, and his soil. Goethe recognized this truth when he named the Homeric epics the two most important books in the world, for they formed the cultural psyche that later received the Christian gospel and built Christendom.

That inheritance was preserved not by accident but by deliberate fidelity. After the collapse of Rome, monks in Irish and continental scriptoria copied the classical texts alongside Scripture, ensuring that the wisdom of the ancients would serve the City of God rather than perish with the City of Man.

The present campaign against Homer therefore forms part of a single, continuous war. The same actors who removed monuments, rewrote textbooks, and opened borders now reach for the canon itself, knowing that a people severed from its foundational stories cannot long endure as a people.

The governing principle is older than any modern ideology. Universals exist; moral and cultural order is discovered, not invented. The Odyssey reveals realities about household, authority, and return that no subsequent age can repeal without destroying the conditions of its own survival.

Therefore the Faithful Remnant must recover the classical tradition as an act of covenantal fidelity. Fathers must place Homer in the hands of their sons alongside Scripture. Schools that refuse the canon must be abandoned. Parallel institutions must be built that transmit the full inheritance without apology or dilution.

The choice is no longer literary preference. It is the choice between the ordered inheritance of Western Christendom and the managed oblivion offered by its enemies.
