The present work collects two relevant thinkers of the nineteenth century: the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and the historian Jacob Burckhardt. We discuss which way concepts of culture and history of Hellenistic contributed to the constitution of culture conception in Nietzsche and yet how the philosopher of and Historian comprise a Greek antiquity for the construction of critical arguments to modernity. The starting point of this work is the defense of Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy about the authenticity of the Greek archaic culture at its appreciation of artistic impulses, and the need for a reinvigoration of modern culture by departing the ahistorical powers of art and religion over the appreciation of the rational impulse and scientific trend. Starting from the central concepts extracted from the works of these authors that are relevant to this issue, we investigate the notion of "Historical greatness" in Burckhardt, and how it helps in the comprehension of the conception of culture in Nietzsche’s philosophy. For Nietzsche and Burckhardt, the resumption of values of the Greek culture and the role of genius and individuality were designed as weapons against what they considered a decadence of modern culture. We intend so understanding how Nietzsche and Burckhardt perform their cultural interpretations, considering the specificities of each author and the praise of common parameter to greatness individual observed in Greece. We understand that there is in the conception of genius in Nietzsche the convergence of notions of culture and history, according as the begetting of this is the last task of culture and to the history fits the responsibility for the dialogue between these high copies.
