An aesthetics of Hellenism affirming an exclusivity and localization of the beautiful oscillates along a political axis from domination to liberation. This article seeks to unsettle such accounts of "the beautiful nation" so as to enable other mediations of the real and the ideal, and thus a more open and heterodox vision of nation and homeland.
