This past weekend a beautiful and bold display of Pagan Revivalism was on full display in Greece.
According to greekreporter.com, in an article titled Ancient Greek Religious Festival of Anthesteria Revived in Athens, "The ancient Greek religious festival of Anthesteria was revived in Athens over the weekend of February 8 and 9.
Participants dressed in ancient Greek costume met on Sunday at the stairs of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, under the Acropolis, to reenact the spirit of the celebrations in honour of the god of wine Dionysus.
The procession continued to the archaeological site of Kerameikos, where participants honoured their dead ancestors."

Homosexuality in the Ancient Greece
We often hear from apologists for homosexuality that the latter was the norm in the ancient world, especially in Rome and Greece. In fact, the myth of Greece being a homosexual utopia was popularized by Oscar Wilde, a know homosexual himself.
Yet the texts and works of art tell a completely different story.
In Athens, homosexuals were despised and obliged to declare their vice in ecclesia, after which they lost all civil rights. If they hid their vice, they were ostracized or executed. For them, there were derogatory nicknames such as euryproktos (wide anus) chaunoproktos (gaping anus) and lakkoproktos (anus like a pit).

In the speech of Aeschines against Timarch it is said that if any Athenian is a man's lover, then he is forbidden:
1) to be one of the nine archons
2) to be a priest
3) to be an advocate in court
4) to hold any position inside and outside the Athenian state
5) to act as a herald or to elect a herald
6) to enter sacred public places, participate in religious liturgies with a wreath on the head and be in that part of the square, which is consecrated by sprinkling

Any sort of queer theory in connection with Óðinn rather tends to qualify as some sort of modern myth in accordance with popular ideas in the contemporary world, but hardly with the norms of one of the most homophobic societies one can possibly imagine, that of the Germanic Iron Age.

Here’s to all Pagan couples having a good day. Let us hope that this year more men and women come together bound not only by love but faith too.
