Well, they haven't gone away. Humans are rational beings descended from the eternal order of things.
But as for virtues that I think have decayed...? Courage, a love for the beautiful, eros or contemplative sexual desire.
I also totally admit that I could be wrong. If anyone is interested, I follow more of the Straussian school which definitely pushes the Ancients to a higher plane of revelation than most of the moderns. Nietzscheans would probably mock me.
