The Homeric Naivete - The Complete Victory of Apollinian Illusion

The homeric naivete can be understood only as the complete victory of apollinian illusion. It is one of those illusions which nature so frequently employs to achieve her ends. The true goal is veiled by a phantasm. In while we stretch out our hands for the latter, nature attains the former by means of our illusion. With this mirroring of beauty, the hellenic will combated its artistically correlative talent for suffering and for the wisdom of suffering. As a monument of victory, we have homer, the naive artist.
