In the pillars of the olympian Zeus in 21-01-07 at 12 o'clock noo we
took part in a Ceremony for the Olympian gods.
I should say that despite the licenses acquired by the organizers that
are a recognized religion and the fact that it is allowed by Greek and
European Law we as an Honourary guard were insulted several times by
the "authorities" who blatantly refused to uphold the laws mentioned
above.Not only we had to put up with insults but also with threats
that bordered on abuse.Reenactors have not been ridiculed like this
anywhere i am sure but i will not go into details.
The news paper article was insulting and degrading to say the least

Sorry to hear that too Themistoklis. Fanatics are all over the world and they usually don't know tolerance..

Next time, video them doing it. Then, send copies of the footage to news agencies. Or, put it on YouTube with subtitled English translations at the bottom if you can.
I was reading an article posted by Newsbot about the success you had, and I imagine the established church there really doesn't like what you're doing.

Themistoklis, You may want to explain how powerful the Greek Orthodox Church is in Greece currently. Many people have no idea just how "inflexible" The Greek Church is and how much power it holds in the running of Greece.
Im sure many who live in western nations, where the church has been almost totally removed from government, would be surprised?

The video's great and so is the music. Can't see the relevance of the guy saying "Sex...Bad sex..." in the background, though...Is the girl singing in Greek? Is her song explicitly sexual? If not, can you get the song without the voiceover?

This kind of behaviour and attitude they exhibited accomplishes nothing in general and accomplished only the opossite effect of what they wanted to do.They think we are a joke and they want to insult and ban us? There exists a sort of complex and confusion that leads from panic to contempt about several issues in a capricious pattern of stupidity in Greece.I was angry then dissapointed but most of all confused .
