The Most Amazing Opening Ceremony...... Athens did it Again! As far as concern the results... Hands Up ........ And here the Lyrics:

The Mermaid Song

Praise the Land of Blinding Light
Where Music was first sung by the Sun!
Praise the ancient Seas that echoed
While tracing Poetry on the sand!
The unaccomplished Song of Life
Had thus begun its tune...

Rhapsodies about Wars and Love
Prayers and Odes
And Anthems and Hymns
Fractions and Parts of a mystic Song
Where they belong:The Song of Life!

The Song of Life
In this Land is born!
- Nymphs Naiads and Nereids!
-Tritons and Oceanids!
- Carry on the sacred Song
In every tongue and tradition
As song of Victory Of Consolation

Praise the Man who raised his voice
And filled the atmosphere with his chant!
Praise the resonating Winds
And Light that conquests Darkness of Night

Figures from the ancient greek mythology met the history of Greek music on a stage that was transformed to an ancient greek theater! Maria Menounos and Sakis Rouvas, the hosts of the song contest, compared the show with brio and humor. For this amazing spectacle over 250 technicians, dancers, actors and singers worked hard and the TV ratings reached 82.2% on average, which is a new record for the TV network NET. The OAKA stadium was packed with people and Eurovison fans who were enthused over the impressive music fiesta. Even though Greece didn't manage to win, the event itself stole the show.

Hi Geo,

I must admit that I have never seen anything quite like that video.  Everything about it was amazing.  I was drawn in by the combination of sound, lighting, and dance movements. 

Thank you so much for sharing it!

Judy
