Our Passion for Greek History and Culture
A historian once told me that if I wanted to understand the beginnings of civilization, my best bet lay in starting my journey in Greece. While he meant reading books about Greek history, my friends and I decided to actually delve into the historical sites on foot.
With our trips to the Acropolis and months on end spent uncovering Greek mythologies, we could not help but feel connected to the past. And the more we explored, the more we realized just how much the past not only shaped our future but also predicted it!
But over the years, we realized something. This information, which sheds so much light on our lives, was not easily accessible. What's more, myths often made it harder for people to determine what was real and what was not. So, we decided to create a platform where we could provide people with real information about Greek history.
