The (Non-) Queer Polytheist Olympics

Of course, the Greeks never would have imagined any of the "Winter Olympics" events as even being possible or desirable, for gymnastics—the name itself indicating nudity—were done nude, whereas that would be impossible (or at least quite uncomfortable) for most of the events that will be showcased over the next few weeks. Athleticism and competition are certainly laudable in a variety of ways, and for all sorts of reasons that should appeal to many Pagans and polytheists.

But, I'm sure Pelops and Poseidon are both equally amused and annoyed at the legacy of their actions as they play out on the international stage in Putin's Russia in 2014. If it isn't queer and polytheistic, it hardly deserves the name of "Olympic Games."
