Scouring the last twenty or so years, I can think of no moment that was more empowering, satisfying and enchanting for the contemporary Greek and the Hellenic Diaspora than the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympic Games.
Ares is the Olympian god of war, slaughter and bloodshed. He is the progeny of king and queen of all gods and mortals, the mighty Zeus and the jealous Hera, respectively.

On the roof we sit, observing clouds pass and birds fly by. There is more happening among us then meets the eye, however. Things that have been repressed for so long are bubbling to the surface. The Internet is simply another form of our mind, a mycelial network transmitting and receiving information at nearly lightspeed. It can be over-whelming! Where is your attention focused?

It's an Ancient Paradox laced with Magic Symbolism
Moving Forth with Tiger Eyes Democratic Communism
Overseeing Enlightenment we're entering a Golden Time
Histories Mythology shall come to lace these Golden Rhymes
Sound Waves Rise and Fall just like the Persian Empire
With one foot grounded on earth enter the Transcendental Fire
Use your All Seeing Eye and Contemplate the Eye of Ra

We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
