El Cabrero was amused last weekend to see the following Associated Press story:

ATHENS, Greece - After all these centuries, Zeus may have a few thunderbolts left. A tiny group of worshippers plans a rare ceremony Sunday to honor the ancient Greek gods, at Athens' 1,800-year-old Temple of Olympian Zeus. Greece's Culture Ministry has declared the central Athens site off-limits, but worshippers say they will defy the decision.

While I'm officially a fairly almost orthodox and generally monotheistic Episcopalian, at least in months that contain the letter "R," I must admit to having a major thing for the ancient Greeks and a certain fondness for this Hairy Thunderer and his companions, especially Apollo.
