John Plithon's Anachronism

The usage of capital P. Pagan and paganism in this book is not simply bad history on the part of John, it also enables and promotes cultural appropriation. The anachronism misleads a pagan reader of this book who consciously sees themselves as pagan into thinking Plithon is pagan, also like them. While it may be John's noble mission to bring Plithon's writing to an audience who may benefit from him, this book is blatant appropriation since Plithon’s religious system was tied together with his political agenda.
