One little public sex scene at the Parthenon and now this?
It used to be that whatever happened at the Parthenon stayed at the Parthenon.Now 150 new cameras have been set up at the popular Grecian tourist site after the historical ruin saw an entirely different sort of action.A group of filmmakers staged an explicit gay sex scene at the UNESCO-listed site, and the footage was posted online in Janurary.The scene occurs in broad daylight as tourists walk nearby, though it’s unclear if any passersby were aware of what was happening.A Greek culture ministry spokesman told French media agency AFP at the time that it has launched an investigation and hopes to “find as soon as possible those responsible for this illegal shoot.”The anonymous producers of the film, titled Departhenon, have described the scene as “political art.”They say the Parthenon symbolizes “nationalism, the cult of Antiquity” and “patriarchy.”In response, the culture ministry said in a statement: “The archaeological site of the Acropolis does not lend itself to activism or any other action that offends or shows a lack of respect to the monument.”A translated description of the film reads: “After a hike, two men in a group remember the love adventures they had as a former couple.
