The Middle Eastern Times carries an update on the Ellinais' ritual gathering at the Temple of Zeus in Athens:

"Flouting a ban from the Greek culture ministry - which forbids ceremonies of any sort at archaeological sites - some 30 worshipers chanted odes to Zeus, Aphrodite, and other ancient Greek gods with dozens of startled tourists watching, and a small number of police stationed nearby"

Ceremonies included offerings to the Gods and a wedding. Members of the Greek Ministry of Culture objected to the ceremony and claimed members of the group attacked them and the police guards while exiting the site. According to onew ministry official, "These are not serious people ... they're not so different from fanatical Orthodox Christians."
