" 'Freedom' - The Greek adjective 'eleutheros', 'free' is found in Homer, who contrasts the 'day of freedom' with the 'day of slavery'. (Iliad 6 and Odyssey 14)".[Roberts, 'Patriotic Poetry']

The Noble conception of 'freedom', is found also in the Germanic tribal name of the 'Franks' - i.e., those free of slavery and serfdom - or, to put it bluntly, the Master Race.'Free' describes a select subspecies of man, and not the revaluation and abstraction of that state of physical being so envied by the Slaves and commoners.Not the perversion of the Noble concept, but the original aristocratic meaning of mastery, severity and discipline.

The liberal 'freedom' of 'letting it all go', is not meant here; only when a Spirit is 'bound', can it be a Free Spirit in the Aristocratic sense;
"It is said of the Attic orator Lycurgus that his Nobility made him outspoken".[attrib. Plutarch]
The very outspoken, and very Noble Nietzsche knew that the Rule of Law is the most important thing in life;
"To be a Law-giver is a sublimated form of tyranny".[Nietzsche HATH 261]

Going back to our quote from Aeschylus, we see how the Greeks compared their view of 'freedom' with that of the Persians;
"Free though the Greeks are, they are not free in every way, for over them is set as master, Law ; and of Law they stand in greater fear than your subjects, O Persian King, stand of you
From Herodotus 7.104 - a Spartan exile to the Persian king]
