Athens (Αθήνα) 2004 OC - Allegory
"It was falling into the dream,
As I was coming out of the dream,
I woke up with this marble head in my hands,
It exhausts my elbows and I don't know where to put it down."
"It was falling into the dream,
As I was coming out of the dream,
So our life became one,
And it will be very difficult for it to separate again."
- stanzas from the Mythistorema 3 poem by the late Giorgos Seferis (Γιώργος Σεφέρης; 1963 Nobel Prize Winner for Literature).
From there, this clip highlights how the Greek civilization went from one period to another. First, a "Cycladic head" to symbolize around the year 2,700 BC period. Second, after it breaks, a KOUROS was shown to represent the ARCHAIC period (around 650 BC - 500 BC). Finally, it breaks once more to reveal a classical statue to symbolize the CLASSICAL period (around 510 BC - 323 BC).
Next, a man standing on a cube came out, in which it represents the Earth rotating around the Sun, as the ancient Pythagoreans saw it then. The Pythagoreans were the religious followers of Pythagoras of Samos' (Πυθαγόρας ὁ Σάμιος) beliefs. He was born at around 580 to 572 BC and died at around 500 to 490 BC; he was an Ionian Greek.
Finally, this clip ends with the "outside rocks" showing various vignettes of the growth and evolution of humanity through progress, development and diversity over the ages. Then, these "rocks" form a representation of the over 1,500 Greek islands that make up modern Greece today.

ΝΑ Η ΑΘΗΝΑ 1955
Μεν. Θεοφανίδη -- Ναπ. Ελευθερίου -- Κώστα Νικολαίδη - Λυμπερόπουλου
Μεσ' τα χέρια σου γεννήθηκα
με τα χάδια σου κοιμήθηκα
και την πρώτη μου ηλιαχτίδα
κοντά σου την είδα
Είσαι συ χαρά και λύπη μου
και το πρώτο καρδιοχτύπι μου
κι όπου πάω έρωτά μου
σε βλέπω μπροστά μου
Να η Αθήνα
πρώτη μου αγάπη μεγάλη
να η Αθήνα
μεσ' τα γαλάζια προβάλλει
Τριγύρω στεφάνι τα κάλλη της
η Εκάλη της η Δροσιά της
Πιο κει η Φιλοθέη βελούδινη
και λουλούδινη η Κηφισιά της
Να η Αθήνα
που είμαστε όλοι ερασταί της
να η Αθήνα
που δεν ξεχνιέται ποτέ της...
Κάποιο δειλινό σαλπάρισα
γι' άλλα μέρη που λαχτάρισα
μα κανένα από κείνα
δεν ήταν Αθήνα
Τρία χρόνια ξενιτεύτηκα
χίλια βράδια σ' ονειρεύτηκα
και ταμπλό στα όνειρά μου
εσύ 'σουν χαρά μου
Να η Αθήνα
σαν ζωγραφιά ξεπροβάλλει
να η Αθήνα
στης Αττικής την αγκάλη
Ο δρόμος που πάει στο Φάληρο
μ' ένα τάλιρο η ρετσίνα
τα φώτα τα σπίτια η Μητρόπολη
η Ακρόπολη, γεια σου Αθήνα
Να η Αθήνα
που είμαστε όλοι ερασταί της
Να η Αθήνα
που δεν ξεχνιέται ποτέ της

Athens (Αθήνα) 2004 OC - The Beginning (Ancient To Modern)
This clip begins the Athens (Αθήνα) 2004 Olympic Games opening ceremony. The introduction is fitting, considering that the Olympic Games has not return to its home roots since 1896.
Here, the heartbeats, created by the drummers, are heard to symbolize the Games' main theme. It is called "The Unique Games on the Human Scale."
Second, the "linking" of the ancient Greek site at Olympia (Ολυμπία) and the modern site at the Athens Olympic Sports Complex (OAKA; Ολυμπιακό Αθλητικό Κέντρο Αθήνας) was represented by one drummer at each location. Again, the heartbeat symbolism is used here.
Third, a "comet or flaming arrow" came down toward the middle section of the stadium floor, which is covered by water. The Olympic Rings set up inside the water was lit by it.
To conclude this first section, a bit of firework choreography from the stadium's upper sections was shown here, going from slow to fast mode. This would lead to the introduction of three VIPs involved in this Olympic Games opening ceremony.
