 EARLY KINGS OF NORWAY by Thomas Carlyle - CHAPTER XI. - MAGNUS THE GOOD AND OTHERS.
And Magnus, by such accident, this boy was called; and he, not another, is the prime origin and introducer of that name Magnus, which occurs rather frequently, not among the Norman Kings only, but by and by among the Danish and Swedish; and, among the Scandinavian populations, appears to be rather frequent to this day.
Magnus, a youth of great spirit, whose own, and standing at his beck, all Norway now was, immediately smote home on Denmark; desirous naturally of vengeance for what it had done to Norway, and the sacred kindred of Magnus.
Magnus at once went to Denmark on hearing this event; was joyfully received by the headmen there, who indeed, with their fellows in Norway, had been main contrivers of the Treaty; both Countries longing for mutual peace, and the end of such incessant broils.

Rather, it must be interpreted as a metaphor or myth designed to prompt the modern nihilist to a transvaluation of values, to a reaffirmation of life in a world that has lost its ancient ties to the divine otherworldly.
Magnus claims that the doctrine of eternal return is properly interpreted as Nietzsche’s counter-myth to the Platonic doctrine advanced in the Cave allegory, that pernicious doctrine of an otherworldly realm of truths.

 Canute the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This along with his fathers stout beliefs was probably the foundation of Canute's pragmatic relation to religion which would later greatly influence both Denmark and Britain.
Meeting on an island in the river Severn, Canute and Edmund agreed to divide the kingdom, but Edmund's death (November 1016) left Canute as sole ruler, leading to his acclamation as king by the Witenagemot in January 1017.
In 1028, Canute conquered Norway with a fleet of fifty ships from England: his attempt to govern Norway through Aelgifu and his other son by her, Sweyn, ended in rebellion and the restoration of the former Norwegian dynasty under Magnus I.

Nietzsche, having by this time absorbed the German romanticist, and specifically Schopenhauerian, view that non-rational forces reside at the foundation of all creativity and of reality itself, identified a strongly instinctual, wild, amoral, "Dionysian" energy within pre-Socratic Greek culture as an essentially creative and healthy force.

Finally, that if seruants ought to obey their masters, not onely being gentle, but such as be froward: as well and much more ought subiects to be obedient, not only to their good and courteous, but also to their sharpe and rigorous Princes.
Thus say the holy Scriptures, Well is thee, O thou land (saith the Preacher) whose King is come of Nobles, and whose princes eate in due season, for necessity, and not for lust (Ecclesiastes 10.17, Proverbs 16.29).
This obedience of this most noble, and most vertuous Lady, to a forraigne and pagan Prince, doth well teach vs (who in comparison of her are most base and vile) what ready obedience wee doe owe to our naturall and gratious Soueraigne.

 Friedrich Nietzsche
Apart from "noble savage" and "religious deprogramming" themes, in his brazen work "The Anti-Christ" Nietzsche wrestled with a major tragic issue that remains very much with us today.
The politics of urbanized society may tend to reverse the evolutionary processes that bred for various strengths and nobility in primitive man. Ugly, physically weak, and inadequate men who would never make it in a frontier environment nevertheless through low cunning and mafia-like behavior might through financial manipulation acquire control of society.
Hence a paradox: a person who practices "slave morality" shows true inferiority if he really believes in it, but one can show strength and superiority if one uses it as sheep's clothing to disguise the stalking wolf.

 Comixfan Forums - SEVEN QUESTIONS WITH SIMON FURMAN
CXF: Ultra Magnus is quite a complex character with his allegiances to Prime, the rest of the Autobots and ultimately, himself.
It would have been easy to drop Magnus in at some point in WW1 or 2, but it would have been a cameo only, and I'm trying not to do that where key, fan-favorite (if you like) characters are involved.
I see the Autobot trio of commanders (Grimlock-Magnus-Prime) as points on a scale, from 'full on' and 'take no prisoners' to ‘noble' and 'restrained.' Magnus is somewhere in the middle, pulled both ways.
