As historian George McClure outlines in his book Doubting the Divine in Early Modern Europe: The Revival of Momus, the Agnostic God , the contrarian figure came to be a shorthand for rational skepticism at times of great upheaval for Christianity, and a mascot for the interrogation of authority that was critical to the Enlightenment.

In this period, McClure writes, Momus shifted from an explicitly religious role to a literary one. After a long complication of his flatly heretical beginnings, Momus seems more like the contemporary online troll, able to incite anyone and poke holes in any argument.

He represents the full potential of free speech parrhesia in the Greek , but also, perhaps, the price of speaking so candidly, and the way that a fact assaults our lazy preconceptions. Fundamentally, the troll does what he does for the sake of trolling , and Momus is the absurd extreme of what happens to someone who becomes incapable of agreeing to or believing in the simplest proposition. Up to a point, criticism is constructive.

Likewise, there is a difference between incisive satire and shitposting your opponent into submission. At his best, Momus excels in spotlighting hypocrisy. Alberti also envisioned the consequences of calling out those positioned above you: Exiled from Olympus, Momus roams the Earth convincing mortals to shun the gods until he is caught and castrated by Juno, then chained to a rock to suffer more. Our trolls, too, are self-defeating after a fashion, for they waste their own time and suffer rebuke as severe as the scorn they dish out.
