Yes, A small group of Greeks, known as Ellinais, won legal recognition for their religion last year and is now working to win back their place of worship -- one currently off-limits, according to the Culture Ministry. The spot Ellinais chose and used to celebrate the wedding of Zeus and Hera, is an 1800-year old temple in Athens. Their ceremony is the first known one of its kind since the fourth century when pagan religions were banned. Ellinais hopes to revive the religions that preceded Christianity. One of the priests who led the hymn-singing ceremony, Stathopoulos, said, “We do not believe in dogmas and decrees, as the other religions do. We believe in freedom of thought,”

yes, there is one little, old Greek guy named Stavros who lives in a small shack on the outskirts of of a village on the Aegean Sea.
He used to have a little shop in Athens, where he dealt in rare artifacts, until WaMart opened a place down the street and drove him out of business. He now makes little, hot pink plastic frizbees, with pictures of Zeus on them, and exports them to all communist countries.
I think his total sales were 39 pieces this last year.
He does have a grandson and granddaughter.....
well, that's a story for another day.
