ATHINAIS - AN ANCIENT HELLENIC TITLE FONT

In commemoration of Herodes Atticus, a distinguished man of letters whose daughter Marcia Athenais is honoured in an inscription which survives in Athens (said inscription having provided the motivation for the whole initiative), the Supreme Council of Ethnikoi Hellenes has commissioned the Laboratory of Computational Mathematics, Mathematical Software and Digital Typography of the Department of Mathematics of the University of the Aegean to produce a character font for a particularly beautiful type of ancient Greek lettering. YSEE distributes this font free of charge under the name "Athenais", for the benefit of all admirers of Greek civilization.



[ free download ] YOUTUBE DECIDED HELLENISM IS UNSUITABLE FOR MINORS!

Press Release 346/01.02.�2018� The morally, religiously and culturally bankrupt Monotheism, is desperately clinging to life by conjuring up from its dark past the most disgusting aspects that its intolerant nature has to display. Its Islamic branch by use of military force is trying to bring humanity back to a period of medieval barbarity, while the Christian branch is attempting the same but with a preference to the 16th Century, the time of the Puritan Age

Press Release 345/15.01.�2018� It is by now well known that the Supreme Council of Ethnic Hellenes (YSEE) is the organization representing the Hellenic Ethnic Religion and not a political organization or party. For this reason it doesn't get involved in political arguments nor does it partake in public debates stemming from pseudo-ideological polarities such as left - right wing politics, communism - fascism, nationalism - internationalism.

[ more ] WRONG UPBRINGING PRODUCES WRONG PEOPLE

Press Release 330/23.04.�2017� The byzantine state of Greece has many reasons to be ashamed off, but the most important ones are the absolute cultural decline, the nightmarishly high percentage of functional illiteracy, the absence of respect for public spaces and the complete absence of aesthetic appreciation. We are saying it should be ashamed because people in modern states are shaped primarily through a process called public education, and it is this process that has been a total failure. The byzantine state though is quick to declare that its primary function in education is to produce �faithful orthodox Christians�.



[ more ] REGARDING THE BURIAL AT MOUNT LYKAION

Press Release 318/11.08.�2016� A human sacrifice at Lykaion? We don't know where did the baseness concerning the situation came from. It could either be from the vagueness and the misexpression of Ms Anna Karapanagos' (chief of the General Directorate of Antiquities) statements, or from the journalistic "misconceptions" of her statements. It could also be the ever crazy implications of the radial orthodox provocateurs who falsely call themselves journalists. Anyway, our country has always been peculiar regarding the understanding of ancient times. For example four years ago, in Tripoli, these people were proved unable to even hold an international archaeological congress without having the leaders of the orthodox church or "scientists" who wear "holly" crosses as pendants.

Open Letter 314/8.06."2016" The zealous involvement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs into a matter regarding a monument (Hagia Sophia), which belongs to another country (Turkey) astonished every clearly thinking Greek citizen. We Ethnic Hellenes are even more astonished from your statement that the reading of a monotheistic religious text in a space that up until 1934 functioned as a monotheistic temple, and only afterwards designated as a cultural monument, is �not in accordance with European norms and rules of respect and tolerance for diversity and religious freedom. The same is true of your statement that you will take the case to international organizations�.

It seems that attacks against defenseless religious shrines, is not the sole prerogative of the primitive Islamist extremists who in fervent zeal destroy various pagan antiquities in North Africa and the Middle East. It unfortunately is also a choice of expression for Christian fanatics who though they live in 21st Century Europe, show a willingness to return to an age when hammers and pikes were used to level the temples, statues and altars of the pre Christian cultures of Europe.

The servility of the State as they submit to the daily intervention of the theocrats of the Orthodox Church is indescribably disgusting. These theocrats appear to consider the country to be their private back yard and, from the reaction of the State, they are perhaps correct to presume so. The constant humiliation of the Greek State by these despotic theocrats has today reached a new level of degradation as the media announced the changes to Primary and Secondary level education that can only be described as the latest measure in the systematic interventionist agenda of religious indoctrination...

This video contained certain short scenes (which were notably tame) which depicted fanatic christians of the first millennium of their chronology destroying temples and statues of the Hellenic Ethniko Religion...

THE HELLENIC RELIGION

"Rejoice bride; rejoice worthy bridegroom, many things ... (Fr. 116)

May you be well bride, be well bridegroom. (Fr. 117)"

Fragments from Sappho's Epithalamia (Wedding Songs) to wish luck and fertility on the bride and groom (1) Marriage in the ancient Hellenic world was not the inherently romantic and sentimental notion of marriage that is held in modern Western Society. The only reference to a union of hearts and minds (homophrosune) within a marital relationship in the ancient writings is described by Homer in the Odyssey when he writes of advice given by Odysseus to Nausicaa (2): "And for thyself, may the gods grant thee all that thy heart desires;

A husband and a home may they grant thee, and oneness of heart, a goodly gift.

For nothing is greater or better than this, when man and wife dwell in a home in one accord, a great grief to their foes and a joy to their friends;

but they know it best themselves" (3)

- In Europe many people want to return to their spiritual roots, to their ethnic religions. In Poland, for example, we have the "Rodzima Wiara". What about the Greeks?



Among the Greeks we have thousands of men and women that return to their ancestral Tradition, Religion and Values as well. Furthermore, I can say that within the perception of the average Greek person the pre-christian period is considered quite admirable, as an era far brighter than that of the Cross ...

As is the common practice, each year the byzantine-loving representatives of the nation's political authorities; the 'princes' and 'principals' of local government crowd together with zeal to occupy seats close to bishops and other cassocked individuals in a public facade of their exemplary christianity.

About the term "pagan"

In our days it is used to call a non-monotheistic religion as pagan or neo-pagan, but this word in reality is an insult for the native/ethnic polytheistic pre-Christian religions. We prefer not to use this term which was applied from the Christian church in order to insult our ancestors and their religion and way of life.
