Woke Olympics Opening Ceremony Apologists Get Greek History Wrong Over ‘Dionysus’ and ‘Greek Bacchanal’ Excuses

Breitbart Reports: The left-wing apologists have come out of the woodwork to excuse away the hyper-sexualized woke trans Paris Olympics opening ceremony by claiming to rely on historical analysis to explain the debacle. Still, they are often garbling and mixing up history in the process.


The Daily Mail, for instance, claims that people are “getting it wrong” when they are criticizing the opening ceremony, especially the satirical depiction of Christianity and “The Last Supper.”


“The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics sparked outrage for the so-called blasphemous depiction of the Last Supper, but a new theory has emerged about what the bizarre performance was really about.,” the paper attempted to explain.


“It was a representation of the event called the Feast of Dionysus. Greek god of festivity and feasting and ritual and theater,” said Reverend Benjamin Cremer.


“The Olympics are from Greek culture and tradition. French culture is deeply rooted in feasting, festivity, and performing arts,” Cremer added.


This, though, is misleading.


Firstly, Dionysus, the Greek god of Wine, had practically nothing to do with the Greek traditions of the Olympic Games. Indeed, Dionysus isn’t even mentioned among the Greek gods listed on the Olympics’ own history webpage.


The webpage explaining the Greek traditions of the Olympic Games properly mentions Zeus, Hera, Athena, and Apollo. However, Dionysus is not mentioned because that particular god was not part of the group of gods that the Games were originally created to honor.

Further, there are a lot of liberals on social media claiming that the opening ceremony is not an attack on Christianity because it is a depiction of the “ancient Greek Bacchanalia festivals.”


This is also a garbled history. Bacchus is a Roman god, not a Greek god, and there is no such thing as an “ancient Greek Bacchanalia festival.”
