"Courage, personal honor, and spiritual and physical
self-surpassment are often cited as the most important virtues of paganism. In contrast to Christian and Marxian utopian optimism, paganism emphasizes the profound sense of the tragic, the tragic—as seen in Greek tragedies—that sustains man in his Promethean plight and that makes his life worth living. It is the pagan sense of the tragic that can explain man’s destiny—destiny, which for old Indo-Europeans triggered action, endeavor,
and self-surpassment."
