Apollo
The open god
In the first chapter Apollo is the man who is beautiful and fair, set against the god who is concealed. Later the book turns to the Homeric Hymn: not only the god’s origin, but the founding of his cult. Their name for saying this in public is Apollonian transmission. The sites below are the ones worth opening. The authors’ own come first.
The authors
- Alexandria
Current writing, including their conversation on Apollo and Dionysus.
- The Apollonian Transmission
Brahmin’s older site. The workshop under the name this page is about.
- Apollo and Dionysus, on video
Spencer, Brahmin, and Neal Sendlak. Posted from the Richard Spencer Clips channel, September 2025. The description points back to Alexandria.
The hymn
- Homeric Hymn to Apollo, in English
Theoi’s text of the long hymn. The volume’s third part treats this poem as the origin story of the god and of his cult.
- The same hymn, at Perseus
Evelyn-White’s translation, with the Greek a click away. Useful when the book quotes a line and you want the surrounding verses.
The god
- Apollo, on Theoi
A compiled page of the classical sources: birth, Delphi, the bow, the lyre. Not the book’s theory. The raw material the theory reads.
- Delphi
The sanctuary where the hymn has Apollo take the seat from the older power. UNESCO’s record of the archaeological site.
The modern pair
- The Birth of Tragedy
Nietzsche’s Apollonian and Dionysian, free on Project Gutenberg. The authors know this pair. The book is not a restatement of it. Read it so you can tell the two uses apart.
