What do y’all think of Gemistos Plethon, the eu5 guy
>>18268808Unironically based, shame the Church burnt his philosophical work advocating for a return to paganism. They hated Plethon because he told them the truth.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemistos_Plethon#Nomoi

>>18268808He's based and its hilarious he was an option for the next pope while he was in Italy.We have probably lost so many little cults that tried to restore polytheism and specifically Hellenism. We have some records of ones from the 19th century but it is so incredibly hard to find other hiding pagans from the middle ages, Renaissance and the reformation.I always wonder how many of them were wiped out during the witches hunts
