Was it the Athenian’s “the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must” argument from Thucydides’ Delian Dialogue?

Nice. Between “oligarchic amoralism” and “kakistocracy”, it’s clear the ancient Greeks wouldn’t give us any points for originality.

Nietzsche’s not post-Darwin, but more interesting than biologism for me. The “Genealogy of Morals” is about how the strong “amorality of oligarchs” succumbed to the weak’s nihilism (xtians). It is masked as polemic, but it’s more ambivalent (Hegelian even) than it seems.
