If we want to understand the modern Western world, we need to look back to the Greeks. Consider the way we think about ethics, about the nature of beauty and truth, about our place in the universe, about our mortality. All this we have learned from the ancient Greeks. They molded the basic disciplines and genres in which we still organize thought, from poetry to drama, from medicine to philosophy, from history to ethnography.

Odysseus & Athena Institute focuses on two critical issues at the intersection of Greek philosophy & environment and Greek philosophy & good life.

We promote the concept “Learn from the Past, Develop the Future” through a range of activities, campaigns and workshops. We provide high-quality technical assistance at no cost to schools, municipalities, non governmental organizations via a request form. This email address is being protected from spambots.

And actions speak louder than words. That’s why we’ve built a national community of volunteers, advocates, and grassroots activists who show up when and where it counts. Our supporters have the tools and resources to make themselves heard in nearly every district in every municipality across the country.
