Abstract
The article is a case study of the Athens Olympic Stadium which was designed by Santiago Calatrava. The stadium's use during the Games' opening and closing ceremonies, the perception of self-hood, otherness, and national identity in the context of Greek allegiance, the image and branding of a "New Greece" that was culturally and economically Europeanized, and the myth of the nation-state are discussed.
