Athens pledged to protect the cultural heritage after a spicy "political" flick was filmed in the bosom of the ancient city.
Greek authorities plan to install 150 cameras to grant round-the-clock surveillance for the Acropolis after a short movie was published depicting public gay sex at the spot.
The ancient center of Athens, which hosts a 2,500-year-old temple complex, became mired in controversy due to the 'Xeparthenon' film. It purportedly depicts two men with their faces covered having sexual intercourse at the Erechtheion – the ancient Temple of Athena Polias - while in full view of the public and surrounded by numerous tourists.
Producers claimed the movie was a political film and that they chose the Parthenon since it is a "symbol of nationalism and carrier of hetero-normal messages".
The incident caused outrage among many Greeks, sparking an investigation by the Ministry of Culture.

"It was a lewd, terribly lewd act,” the Acropolis Head Guard Ioannis Mavrikopoulos stated. "It marked the most disgraceful affront to the sanctity of the site".
