You are a gentleman Julius. The world forgets how much the Greeks have contributed. The Atlanta games were a disgrace that all people involved in that criminal organisation called the IOC will get their just karma...

[@harveyblackwood3563]

Ancient Sumeria, Egypt, Greece, and Rome - they all influenced what we have in the modern world: Trigonometry, Pharmacy, Medicine, Algebra, Drama, Public speaking, Psychology, Philosophy, etc...and yet people take these things for granted. It's hard to accept that we may not be able to bring back the glory days these ancient civilizations. Our time is different and I hope the future would view us positively like how we viewed the ancients before us.

I am a big fun of the Babylonian civilization. Don’t forget that our civilization affected each other during Great Alexander period

Aún recuerdo esa ceremonia, como si la hubiése visto ayer... Me estremece completamente y me emociona ver como las olimpiadas fueron recibidas de vuelta en su hogar. Qué evento tan bonito y que emoción verlo desde México ❤️🇲🇽

Grecia, hermosa, desde tu nombre y tus tierras, que hablan origen e historia.

[@spirodoukas]

I was at the opening ceremony. I got chills then and I get them again when I watched this video. Being there was one of the highlights of my life and I thank God that he loved me enough to have me there.

Αυτή ήταν τελετή. Όχι το μπουρδέλο που δείξαν χτές.

I still think it is the most moving and inspiring I have ever seen. And the allegory sequence was utterly genius.

Βλεπω αυτα τα βιντεο στο εξωτερικο που ειμαι και μου τρεχουν τα δακρυα. Ετσι οπως καταντησαν την χωρα αυτοι οι τιποτενιοι εδιωξαν και διωχνουν τα παιδια της μακρια. α ρε Πατριδα, α ρε Ελλαδαρα μου!

[@babs2800]

Τα δάκρυα σου έτρεχαν για το πως κατάντησε η χώρα ή από μετάνοια γιατί έφυγες και την άφησες στην τύχη της; Έφυγες φίλε μου. Επέλεξες τον ατομικό δρόμο και παραπονιέσαι κιόλας για την "πατρίδα" σου...

[@1HeavyMetalAngel]

Thanos Drougkas Φίλε, μία από τα ίδια... Αν και ήμουν εξωτερικό πριν από την κρίση, γύρισα μέσα στην κρίση και δεν άντεξα πάνω από 4,5 χρόνια και ξανά έφυγα. Ήθελα τόσο πολύ να ζήσω στην Ελλάδα, αλλά οι αλήτες δεν μας το επιτρέπουν...

[@jimli1871]

Και συνεχιζουν να διωχνουν τα νεα παιδια....αν δεν αλλαξει η νοοτροπια σε ολα, ετσι θα συνεχισει να ειναι η Ελλαδα

[@SofiaSilver333]

Φίλε μου πόσο δίκαιο έχεις, τρέχουν τα δάκρυα και για όσους μείναμε εδώ γιατί δεν βλέπουμε να αλλάζει κάτι. Όποτε μπορέσεις κάνε αυτό που λέει η ψυχή σου, να γυρίσετε όλοι πίσω στην Ελλάδα, και να διώξουμε αυτούς τους τιποτένιους από κάθε κόμμα που μας κατέκλεψαν

[@Readyteddygo]

I remember watching this live. As a Greek, it made me cry

[@markosp]

I wasn't there but I felt in my heart like any other Greek would where ever he/she is...

[@ahmadalsamaraiy3400]

14th Nov 2021, and I'm still listening to this marvelous opening ceremony which is still the best so far, I keep listening to this music whenever I need to filter and clean my ears. A wonderful culture from a wonderful nation Ελλάδα.
