Rebirth of the Greek Gods

Monday September 22, 2003
There is a movement in Greece to resurrect worship of the ancient gods and goddesses. Known as the Hellenes, there are 2000 hardcore practitioners. The mainstream Orthodox church in Greece refers to the practitioners as idolators while "the Hellenes still mourn the end of their civilisation in the 4th Century AD, when Christians representing the new official religion of the Roman Empire began destroying their temples, statues and libraries," according to Scotland on Sunday.
