Antaios (magazine)

Antaios is a traditionalist and New Right journal, originally published in Germany and later ceasing publication. It was founded in 1962 by Ernst Jünger and Mircea Eliade. The journal presented a platform for conservative revolutionary, traditionalist, and nationalist thought, often exploring themes of cultural criticism, philosophy, religion, and politics from a right-wing perspective.

Antaios attracted contributions from a wide range of intellectuals and writers associated with the Conservative Revolution and the European New Right, including Alain de Benoist. Its perspective was often critical of modernity, liberalism, and egalitarianism, and it promoted a return to traditional values and hierarchies.

The journal's name derives from the mythical figure Antaeus, a giant in Greek mythology who gained strength from contact with the earth (Gaia, his mother). This alludes to the journal's focus on rootedness, tradition, and a connection to the past.

Publication of Antaios eventually ceased, though its influence on right-wing intellectual discourse, particularly within the German-speaking world, remains a subject of scholarly discussion. Its content and contributors are often cited in studies of conservative and far-right ideologies.
