Athens 2004 Opening Ceremony -HD- (4.Clepsydra)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9gxXNGSn7s

Have to say I enjoyed the 2004 Olympics

Opening ceremonies held a lot of significance for the Greek heritage

Thank you for sharing 😘

You're welcome, Lady D :)

I wish I could have gone, I would have loved to have been to this one.

Me too!

It was the year I was promoted at the Toronto international film festival and the entire summer was overwhelming although satisfying

I did enjoy the Opening Ceremonies

I recall it fondly for I watched opening ceremonies with my Dad.

He recorded it so he could watch it again.

Makes me smile

Thank you 😊
Love and light

~Divine

That just made my day, Lady D

Thank you  :) :) :) :)

The Olympic flame is a symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_flame)

The Olympic Games were a series of athletic competitions among representatives of city-states and one of the Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece. They were held in honor of Zeus, and the Greeks gave them a mythological origin. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Olympic_Games)

The modern Olympic Games became an international sporting event featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games)
