This little film (or lengthy, untraditional commercial) gives a taste of the material found in our latest magazine of timeless culture, history and ideas. The issue explores Friedrich Schiller’s profound historical lecture on the origins of the Egyptian mysteries and Mosaic Law, Nicholas of Cusa’s epistemological method of Learned Ignorance, and the enduring role of poetry in shaping the Western imagination, going all the way back to Ancient Egyptian “Harper Songs”. Oh, and the latest issue is also full of new sublime compositions!
We’ll be putting out additional content covering the work in this latest dense New Lyre issue over the coming weeks and months, including a new documentary, related video essays, and mixtapes.
In the meantime, let us know what you think of our latest video, subscribe to our YouTube channel for all the latest, and make sure to give us a like! We are also very grateful to everyone who shares our content with others who are passionate about witnessing a genuine classical revival and renaissance of the arts, education, and culture within our beautiful Western civilization.
We’re confident that great things can be achieved right now. It only requires the proper time, resources, content, and collaboration. We’ve been slowly but surely building up all the infrastructure and capacity needed to cultivate and realize this vision.
It’s been our commitment since day one.
If you’d like to support our Renaissance initiatives and Age of Muses content, please take out a premium subscription—just $6 per month.
Let’s not forget that small city states like Athens or Florence were able to change the course of history through their dedication to such higher ideals, thanks to brave and visionary souls like Socrates, Plato, Aeschylus, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, and many others.
We’re now beginning to see the fruits of our labor and that of others. But it’s only the beginning.
Without further ado, we hope you enjoy our film!

The Legislation of Lycurgus and Solon by Friedrich Schiller
To truly appreciate the nature of the Lycurgian plan, we must understand Sparta’s political situation at the time, and the conditions under which Lycurgus found Lacedaemon when he unveiled his new plan. Two kings held the same authority and simultaneously served as the heads of state; each was jealous of the other, and each was concerned with building his own following, to thus limit the authority of his rival. Their jealously had been inherited from the two previous kings, Prokles and Eurysthes, and their lineages down to Lycurgus, such that Sparta was constantly plagued by factional struggles. Each king sought to bestow more freedoms on the people to win their favor, and these gifts inspired insolence within the population, leading to insurrection. The…
