gladiator, n.Definitions

Gladiator (n.) never ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠sighs or turns pale, though he comes from the dregs of mankind, and when defeated does not draw in his neck from the death-stroke — such is the force of practice.

A Gladiator (n.) mirrored ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Rome, in Hegel's eyes: dying a cold, senseless death whose whole meaning lay outside itself, as nothing Roman had its purpose in itself — the secret of beauty.
