Why did he love the Greeks so much?

Probably gay or something xD

their moral world and their desires were unified - they had not yet learned to question as Socrates would.

Completely reductive of the point, only remembering some words Nietzsche said. Within your answer one would be able to claim all concentric religious natives are his love of Greeks?

Part of this I can imagine to be surely due to german history. Though his own education plays part in it too, being a philologist and all that. As we all know Nietzsche later moved away from romanticism (mainly Wagner and Schopenhauer) and this was, although in a different context, nothing new in germany. Goethe and weimar classicism were a movement detesting the romantics of that time and instead pursuing the greek ideal. Although a century later, the philosophical background and motivationw as a different one, it certainly fit his worldview quite well. Especially the greek tragedy is paramount to everything Nietzsche wrote.

Why don’t we have philosophers, art movements, etc. that are inspired by anything it seems? It would be weird to me to read about a modern thinker and describe his intellectual progression as something like “a move away from romanticism”. I don’t know if it’s just me but everything seems so shit and lifeless now. Is it me?

More or less this: >>14865300

He admired "the Greek chorus" a synthesis between man's rational and primal drives
the lustful unthinking "blond beast" and intelligent meek "jew"

In a sense, his belief that we should not dissect our actions too much is very Wittgensteinian
