Athens 2004 Olympic Opening Ceremony Greek National Anthem

[MingDynasty700]

Most Beautiful National Anthem Ever !

[gtkodo]

Greece doesnt have freedom! Nobody got freedom from the end of 15 century this is written only on papers not on reality!

[MingDynasty700]

@gtkodo Emmm, i thought Greece has been free since 1821?

[gtkodo]

@MingDynasty700 nope , in 1821 started only the revolution war , greece became free in 1825 and later

[MrSelianos]

These games actually destroyed greece because everybody was saying that there was going to be a terrorist attack so greece bought some machines for defence but nothing happened......We paid 2 zilion euros.Thats what we owe to German now

[angelicawong1971]

ANCIENT GREEK PEOPLE ARE ROLLING IN THEIR GRAVE>

[EffLabels]

@angelicawong1971 What you talking about? this ceremony is BEAUTIFUL! I think it's one of the best

[angelicawong1971]

@EffLabels agree. ancient greek people would like to see this day coming.

For how many years Greek people were controlled by the other nations since 15th century... Finally now, they have a nice ceremony.

[jordanbassp]

Goddamn Turks!

[3arianaras]

:'( i love you Greece <3

[andonaki2]

Go Greece! you are the very BEST!

[peocaveo]

Italy thinks Athens 2004 has been the GREATEST Olympic games Ever. E V E R

[Laskodrinker]

Its very simple...Greeks have a great democratic tradition, Turks dont

[kosterot]

@Laskodrinker AHHAHAHAHA WAS THAT A JOKE... WE DONT HAVE A DEMOCRACY ... GREECE SUCKS IN DEMOCRACY ... WHAT COUNTRY HAS 99% PURE NATION? THATS STUPID...

[333Serbian]

Greeting from Serbia to Greeks brothers !

Fuck Albania, Fuck Turkey

Kosovo is Serbia, Macedonia is Greece

Живела Србија ! Ελλάδα έζησε !

[Laskodrinker]

Kosovo nije Srbija, a to ste si krivi Srbi sami. Pozdrav iz Slovenije (EU, NATO)

[333Serbian]

@Laskodrinker

Zašto smo mi krivi ? Da li ti uopšte znaš šta se dešavalo na Kosovu 1999. godine ? Albanci su palili Srpske crkve, ubijali nemoćne Srpske civile, palili Srpske kuće, te grozota nad Srbima nije činila samo teroristička "Oslobodilačka Vojska Kosova", već i običan Albanski narod, koji se takođe iživljavao nad nemoćnim i malobrojnim Srbima koji su preostali na Kosovu. Tadašnja SRJ nije mogla da ne reaguje, teroristima se moralo stati na put........

[333Serbian]

@Laskodrinker

...... došlo je do sukoba pilicije SRJ i Albanskih terorista, NATO je odlučio da bombardujue SRJ zbog jednog zločina, koje je navodno učinila SRJ, kasnije se ispostavilo da su žrtve bili Srbi.

Imam pitanje za tebe... Da li onda znači da i Kurdistan treba da dobije nezavisnost, jer Turska čini zločine nad nemoćnim Kurdima?

[rurounisld]

the question that troubles every greek mind is how many ppl died for us to enjoy the god given gift of freedom. the greeks revolution motto is freedom or death

[TheFrenchscot]

greetins from France, I will never forget the greek genius which has founded thousand cities, my native city is Marseilles called "Massalia" founded by Phoceans.

God Bless Greece!

[nsminc]

Amazing.I saw the Men's 100m,went to the old stadium to see the marathon on giant screens and the bronza and gold medal basketball games.

[Ascensiam]

Greece created Western Culture, Rome spread it to Europe.

[stipoutsamou]

@Ascensiam that's right...

[AmericanPatriotEagle]

Beautiful anthem! All the best to you my Greek brothers, the founders of Western civilization. From the US 

[Tavros85]

Long life to Greece!!!! An italian brother

[paris3245]

respect in greek anthem speaks about the hero's of 1821

[UltrasWP]

Wow, I loved Greece until I've met a Greek in real life. Greeks and Macedonians are the world's no. 1 shit talkers. They hate everyone around them and everyone around hates them. Bunch of big mouthed cunts.

[Fedralicious1]

@UltrasWP So.. you met a Greek and all of the sudden you condem all of them? I have travelled around the world too and everywhere i went i met good people and bad people. People with class and people with no class at all. Should i condem and start calling names on all of the nations just because some of them were nasty and rude to me and ignore all the lovely, kind and polite people i met? No my friend. I choose to keep the image of all the nice people i met abroad and their smilling faces.

[Fedralicious1]

@UltrasWP Not all Greeks are rude and nasty and hateful as you describe us. Of course there are Greeks that are as you said but there are nice and kind Greeks too who know how to respect the others. But good and bad always co exist. There is never one without the other. Fortunately or unfortunately

[pixi2nv]

@UltrasWP thats not very nice.

[ZX9Powa]

@UltrasWP ...unlike yourself.

[nmt1969]

@UltrasWPhaha . Wow very big words.

You must learn some history and then you'll realize that the Macedonians are Greek, from the ancient greek province of Macedonia.

I think you might be confused with the people from Skopja who are yugoslavians calling themselves Macedonian.

Before talking crap about a nation all because of 1 person, makes you the most narrow minded human. lol I realy feel sorry for you.

Please look for help and come to understand that there is good and evil in all nations

[celloswiss]

@nmt1969 Greece needs a history lesson. You're either Greek or Macedonian.Ancien Greek has about as much to do with Modern Greece as do Papua New Guinea with Mexico. Nothing. Zilch.

Macedonia today is no longer an ethnic term but a geographic term. Yes, the modern Republic of Macedonia is made of up Slavs and not Greeks.

[nmt1969]

@celloswiss I guess your just another stupid uneducated piece if dog dung. Greece has the majority of prime Macedonian land which it's tottally entitled to by antiquity. There is a reason that FYROmonkey land is landlocked and a reason as to why it will never become part of Europe.

You say Macedonia has nothing to do with Greece. Go cry your crocodile tears to all historians and schollars of ancient history.

Later loser

[nmt1969]

@celloswiss Hahahahahahaha. Greece needs a history lesson? Hahahahahahahahahaha. How funny. Hahahahahahaha. Come on mr. Historian, give Greece a Slavic history lesson.

Hahahahahahahaha.

Just remember "landlocked country full of Yugoslavs"

please show the world your pathetic history then I'll show you my Hellenic Macedonian history.

[avalant7]

@celloswiss what a fucking monkeidonian you are stupid vardaskian......

[empv2]

Greek national anthem translation :D  We knew thee of old,

Oh, divinely restored,

By the lights of thine eyes,

And the light of thy Sword,

From the graves of our slain,

Shall thy valour prevail,

As we greet thee again-

Hail, Liberty! Hail!

(repeat previous two lines three times)

[69Bluntsmoka420]

The mountains look on Marathon---

And Marathon looks on the sea;

And musing there an hour alone,

I dream'd that Greece might yet be free

For, standing on the Persians' grave,

I could not deem myself a slave.

-Byron

[Pierian81]

Turks, go back to Mongolia, the Mediterranean region isnt your place. When I hear Turks talking about culture and giving history lessons it makes my hair stand. What contributions have you offered to this world apart from nargile, turkish coffee, genocides and whatever other lazy crap you invented throughout your short history as a country? One turkish contribution in math, physics, etc?You have the nerve to put "Greece" in your filthy mouth and be disrespectful...Ignorant mongolians, go home

[nmt1969]

@Pierian81 Well said my brother. Turks and skopians are just jealous of all Greeks and Greece itself.

Long live Greece.

[TheRobert196]

[foxehownd]

YOU STOLE YOUR CULTURE FROM TURKS

[KREATIKO]

@foxehownd sorry my friend but it's a big joke to say that Greeks stole culture from the Turks...remember Greeks n Turks history and i m sure you could have all the answers you want...thanks!!!

[deedeegr100]

@foxehownd hahhahahahhaha.. that s funny... because when greece started building its culture you were still CAVEMEN!!!!!!!!!

[deedeegr100]

@foxehownd first learn english and then talk to me.. IDIOT!

[foxehownd]

@deedeegr100 Greeks are culture-stealing niggers. Also, take your own advice.

[deedeegr100]

@foxehownd yeah right ..millions of historians have another opinion.......even the turkish historians say that you are wrong and because of you being brutal you kick them out of turkey and you threaten them.. bye bye my poor lower creature..

[foxehownd]

@deedeegr100 More niggerbabble. Greeks are a bunch of gypsies. Notice that Turkey is often called GREAT TURKEY but Greece isn't called Great Greece. That's because Greece is a shithole full of cunts.

[deedeegr100]

@foxehowndthat s funny.because the only land that respects you is america and this is because of some benefits they have.and we all know the reason that you can t get into europe.it s because of cyprus.learn to respect a land because of which there are still nations.because if it wasn t for us almost the whole world would be germany...and anyone who wants proves i can prove it.. just tell me.. and stop talking like that.. it shows how weak you are.. try to have a conversation..

[foxehownd]

@deedeegr100 Oh yes, without Greeks the whole world would be conquered/whatever by the Germans. Greeks saved the world from the Nazis, won the WW I, WW II and WW IV (that's after II right?). You're trying to act like an average American patriot, I'd wager.

[deedeegr100]

@foxehownd god... just see the link.. the leaders say that if it wasn t for the braveness of greece noone knew what would happen.. we gave time for the other countries to get prepared to face germany!! and who were we ?? few people with no war equipment.. this shows the spirit of the greek!!

[nmt1969]

@foxehownd Sounds like your jealous. What do you want?

Greek history?

Greek land?

Greek identity?

Sorry but you can't have it.

Hahaha great turkey.

Gobble gobble gobble.

Turks are the most bastardized race in the world.

They at Mongolian.

[nmt1969]

@deedeegr100 Hahahahahahahahaha. Sounds like your jealous of Greece. All Turks are jealous of Greece. That's because Turks have no history before ganghus khan the mongol. That's why turkey will never be a part of Europe. Because it doesn't respect European history. Soon turkey will be divided anyway. Later loser.

[deedeegr100]

@nmt1969 lol i am greek and i love my country. what are you talking about? :p

[YorgoSkep]

@nmt1969 εεεε, πατριώτη μην το παρατραβάς!

[nmt1969]

@YorgoSkep Then travo tipota re malaka. Mono tis manas sou to mouni gamao Kai to soi pou se genise. Prepi na eissai skopianos h tourkos re pousti

[YorgoSkep]

@nmt1969 Μην αυτοξευτιλίζεσαι! Το χειρότερο είναι ότι προσβάλλεις και τον ελληνικό πολιτισμό!

Οι Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες της Αθήνας ήταν ένα μοναδικό γεγονός που πρόβαλε τΙς ελληνικές αξίες που είναι και πανανθρώπινες! Αυτό πρέπει να το αποδεικνύουμε και στην ΠΡΑΞΗ!

[nmt1969]

@YorgoSkep you were the first to insult Greece. I never insulted Greece but you did you fucking Turk/Slav

You should be ashamed of yourself you asshole if your Greek. Your a fucking moron with no self respect for yourself or your country.

You insulted Greece you fuck head and you call yourself Greek. Your a fucking joke.

Your also blocked you fucking alvano

[YorgoSkep]

@nmt1969 έπεσες σε όλα έξω! Θα το ανακαλύψεις στα σχόλια που έχω γράψει σε άλλα videoclips για την ΑΘΗΝΑ 2004! Σχόλια που τιμούν τη χώρα μας!

[DespinaKouros]

@foxehownd stop exposing your lack of education!!! Stop exposing your stupidity and your full of complexes character!!! Greeks are and were always here looooooong before you!!! You are what you are because of the Greeks! The turks who live in west turkey are mixed with Greeks, Armenians and all other ethnicities that were living there! The real turks have mongolian characteristics!!!Genosides against other nations isn't culture, IT'S MURDER!!!

[filolgirl21]

The Olympic Games begun at Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. it was not all about games... it was a celebretion dedicated to the father of the gods, Zeus! for us is more than games... is our history, our culture... the Olympic games 2004 were finaly...home... The uncivilized turks who comment on this video...they must realize that what they do is blasphemy...

[DespinaKouros]

@TurkishToronto Turk go back to Mongolia and eat your heart out! No matter what you say you will always be a barbaric nation!!! Genocides and opression to other ethnicities is your history!!! So pathetic!!! Say a big thanx 'cause Greeks made you humans!!! With our music, dances, food, civilisation, traditions! YOU GAVE NOTHING TO THE WORLD!!!

[thodoris213]

we are people after all

[wtanoto]

i really don't understand the conflicts between greeks and turkish here. Please stop. I am neither greeks nor turkish, but I have great respect to the greeks for such a wonderful games (and such a beautiful anthem. I have memorised it)

[charilaos15]

@wtanoto  You cant understand because you are not greek but anyway thank you

[deedeegr100]

@wtanoto the reasons are simple.. turkey has always wanted greece.. 400years under their possession.1919 pontian(in case you don t know know which is normal :P pontians are greeks) genocide and still haven t admitted it and apologized.. it s like germany saying that it s our fault that germans made the ww2.. but no.. they have the guts to admit it and apologize.. this is why everyone respects them..

[deedeegr100]

@wtanoto and then when you think they stopped BOOM they come like brutal monsters and take cyprus in 1974.. and they are the only ones who recognise it as THEIR LAND!and something else to the turks: it s not istanbul.it s KONSTADINOUPOLI! they are just brutal.. any other country would try to do something to prove us that turks have changed and they re not like they were in the(black) past.. but they are the same! they will always be!!

[ameroffsky]

@wtanoto

I agree. I too am niether Greek nor Turkish, but I know a little about the historic conflict, and I hope it will stop soon.

I have visited both countries, and I think they are both wonderful countries with wonderful people.

[tzogreekwarrior6]

@ameroffsky

This can't be stoped my friend!!!When my people has been raped, killed and humiliated for over than 400 years, i can't forget it!!!When they stain our history and our holy symbols, it's a game or something so that it can be forgotten!!!

[empv2]

@wtanoto They took Cyprus they took everything we had in 1821 and 1921, and again in 1970, we try not to hate Turkey but...

[TheFreelife79]

@wtanoto The problem is after 400 years of slavery,they stole everything from the Greeks.Our civilization(remember how they use it to advertise the turkish tourism).They stole the Minor Asia from many other nations,including us(remember the North and West coasts of Turkey were filled with Greeks).For almost 4 generations they were kidnapping our childrens and taking them to Turkey just to turn them Turkish.They were kidnapping the women from all the Balkans and taking them to Turkey.

[TheFreelife79]

@wtanoto And knowdays they dare to call us Turkish while they should call themselves Greeks after so many kidnapping they did.One day we said ok....lets stop hatred...we signed peace Treaty in Lausanne in 1923.The Greeks left the past behind.But Turkey still is trying to change our borders,they wont be satisfied untill they get our islands...they are over and over threatening us with war!!! I hope i gave you an idea of the conflict.

[nmt1969]

@TheFreelife79 If Turkey even pointed a gun at Greece. Turkey would be finnished.



[sammmiii13]

@wtanoto <3

[ffnrr]

@wtanoto

You never know.

[GoldenHMCV]

@wtanoto the conflict is in the lyrics of the anthem, which are about the greek revolution of independence against the ottoman rule in 1821

[korcariyt]

What a nation is this Greece, only god knows. Above all today's greeks are not descendants of neither the ancient greeks nor Alexander the great, but a mixture of other peoples. For example as Brailsford says, "For the greater part of the population of Northern Greece is undoubtedly Albanian in origin.".

[moutraki1990]

@korcariyt I suggest washing your mouth with aquaforte before speaking of greece (which you dont even know the meaning of the word).

And as far nation and origins,ancient greeks conquered enough for many so called pure borns of other countries to trace a greek in theyr ancestor line.

[phoenix1925]

why they say it in french too??

[scooter62986]

I think the French were the head of the IOC at that time. I don't remember if the Presidency of the IOC rotates, but I do remember he was French that year

[CRidilla]

I believe by the rules or customs that the announcements must be in the host language of the country first ( if the host language is not either French or English) , French second and English third. If English or French is the host language, then the announcements are done in French first, English second.

[1vgb]

@phoenix1925 its always done in the native language, french, then english. French and English are the official languages of the olympics

Like I said Jesus taught me to forgive,my being as a Greek American cannot let me forget,for I am not divine,nor do I ever wish harm to anyone,but the fact remains my people are not innocent of many things in life,but I will not ever back a Turkish regime or their hidden Intifada.
