For accuracy sake, yes the depiction in the Olympics was meant to be Feast of the Gods, but that painting came after The Last Supper and is thought to be directly inspired by da Vinci. Last Supper - 1495 Feast of the Gods - 1635-1640
Linking Wikipedia. The primaries appear to be in French 😅 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Festin_des_Dieux
People are talking about two different moments, 40 minutes from each other: https://jlai.lu/post/9004279

Also the post has screenshots about the two different moments, 40 minutes from each other.
Ok, I don’t speak French, but tried to translate using the new translator beta in Firefox. From what I understoon from the OP, they say it was in fact Last Supper and is making comparisons to it. This is somehow confirmed by DJ from all people?
In the comments of the linked post, there is a link to an article where the artistic director directly reacts and says it is not. That it was supposed to be an image of a pagan festival. He doesn’t cite inspirations, but it being the Feast of the Gods mentioned in the comment here is not too far fetched.
From the article, as translated by Firefox:
Was it the Last Supper? It was “not my inspiration,” replied Thomas Jolly. “I think it was quite clear, there’s Dionysus coming to this table. He’s here why? Because he is god of the feast…, of wine, and father of Sequana, goddess connected to the river.” “The idea was rather to make a great pagan festival connected to the gods of Olympus… Olympus… Olympism,” he continued.
Don’t forget the people that are mad at this also get mad then they hear Beethoven’s Ode to Joy performed or translated because the lyrics aren’t the same as the Christian hymn that plagiarized his melody. They also get mad when they hear Greensleeves performed because those lyrics don’t line up with the Christian hymn that uses the same melody either.
