Greetings Vorti,
it's a difficult one to avoid given the context of the discussion... which is modern attitudes towards ancient belief/s and participants/re-enactors who are involved
Many re-enactment events are held at ancient/archaeological sites in Europe, as you know, and sometimes include religious ceremony of a non-Christian nature.
If we were suddenly given the same treatment as those in Greece, for one reason or another, what would our reactions be... I was wondering....?
For example participants in a Roman event are harassed and insulted on the grounds that they carry emblems of Jupiter and pagan idols and plan to hold a ceremony to the Gods and a wedding, or refused entry to the site.
Has visions of the ESG marching over protesting security men....???? :lol:
This discussion is in the Greek section, however.....do you think it should be moved from this point ?
regards
Arthes

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
