“Shameful” gay sex scene filmed at Greece’s Acropolis triggers investigation
Xeparthenon, a 36-minute-long film, became known to officials in January 2022 after a screening at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki roughly a month earlier.
Two men are seen having sex at the aforementioned place, sparking an investigation by the Ministry of Culture who said it did not consent to what happened. “The archeological site of the Acropolis is not suitable for any kind of activism or other activity which would cause offence and displays disrespect for the monument,” it said in a statement.
The lovers have their faces covered during the intercourse in question and, according to Greek Reporter, the site appeared to be open to tourists at the time.
The two can reportedly be seen being shielded by a circle of people for cover as they pretended to take pictures of the area.
