Guess who’s championing Homer? Radical online conservatives. - The Washington Post

'Ancient Sparta has proved particularly attractive to far-right online communities (as well as to former White House adviser Steve Bannon, whose computer password at one time was “Sparta”). '

'But the alt-right is also fiercely committed to preserving and championing the great works of Western civilization. '

'Defending the classics against this purported coldblooded attempted murder has been of paramount importance to the alt-right almost since its inception. '

'To them, the rise of identity politics in the academy — what some call “grievance studies” — could be the classics’ undoing. '

'It’s not the revival that advocates of the classics expected or wanted, but there is no denying the fervor of these writers. '
