It is important to understand here the scope of the notions of rooting and paganism, whose presence takes on new relevance in our days. I underline the word “reach”. I believe, to demonstrate, in fact, that such presence implies much more than a simple anachronism, as if those words lacked meaning for our time or as if they were out of place. On the contrary, the strength of “nationalist”, “nativist” and “racist” movements such as the one headed by the new tenant of the White House or the one led by others in Europe, lay the foundations to “rethink” such notions. There we have the opportunity to think and clarify the debate. It is certainly not about presenting the results of a rigorously academic research to bring the debate to its place of origin or exhaust the discussion. In order to understand the relationship between these words and the interpretation that I will make of them, I will refer this problem to the rooting, on the one hand, and, on the other, to its repetition and discussion in our time. This discussion, taken in its most general aspect, concerns the close affinity between the pagan character of the Greek tradition and the political appropriation that certain contemporary movements make of it, revealing certain evils of Western civilization. In this essay I explore the affinity of these disparate movements, separated by centuries of history and, however, so related.
