Second part of the study deals with sacrifice and signs as a camouflage, i.e. either downright frauds of the military leaders or adaptation thereof to their own intentions, with the aim to positively influence the ethics of their battalions. It was particularly important that the natural and astronomical phenomena were considered as divine signs. These included mainly the Moon and Sun eclipses as well as earthquakes which often paralysed the military activity and usually resulted in stopping or postponing the military campaigns. An irreplaceable position in the Greek army was also held by the oracles that often intervened in the battle directly. They could also influence the military affairs by interpreting dreams, mainly in the case of dreams of military leaders and other significant personalities. Sacrifice and interpretation of signs before the battle itself played an important role. Especially the Spartans did not go into battle until favourable sacrificial signs were revealed to their king. Often, these were the sacrifices of the sfagia type, the king could repeat until the requested signs appeared.

The paper focuses on the historical-philosophical reflection on the work of Rosa Luxemburg, one of the most prominent figures in the history of social and political thought in the early 20th century. It highlights Luxemburg's theoretical and practical contribution to shaping history and outlines the specific context of political events that Rosa Luxemburg explained in her work and that inspired her to act. In terms of theoretical analysis, the paper deals with Luxemburg’s perspective on the critique of revisionism, imperialism and militarism, which form the basic aspects of her theoretical work.

The first part of the study deals with the analysis of the sacrificial rituals and their impact on the militarism of Ancient Greece. The oracles, as the part of the army, together with captains, determined the strategy before the important decisions to align them with the “will of the gods” based on the oracles’ signs. These included not only situations during the military campaigns themselves but also ahead of them. In this case, the oracles played a significant role, in particular the one in Delphi. However, the sacrifices were also important during crossing borders or rivers, along with the significant role of atmospheric phenomena such as the Solar or Moon eclipse.
