DecimusCaesar Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Zeus had a change of heart when some hippies stuck flowers on his lightning bolts. These days he shoots rainbows down at mortals instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursus Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 "To hear the pagans of Athens explain it at a recent ceremony outside a 1,800-year-old temple, Zeus-worship would fit right in on an average American college campus. While celebrating the nuptials of Zeus and Hera, high priest Kostas Stathopoulos intoned, "Our message is world peace and an ecological way of life in which everyone has the right to an education." The only things they didn't include were universal health care and a commitment to fight homelessness." This is along the lines of what I was saying in the "revived greek religion" thread - a lot of the Greeks pretending to revive ancient cults really aren't per se. There is more politics than history at work. I don't blame the author of the editorial for sneering. My own opinion of the hipppy side of modern neopaganism is not much better.
