Publications
In 2020, epiStoa started the publishing company Atticus which registered as a German limited liability company (GmbH) in Göttingen. This gives epiStoa the opportunity to publish on epiStoa topics under particularly favourable conditions.
Atticus publishes books, academic theses, and teaching material for pupils, students and the general public.
By September of 2025, seven books have come out.
The epiStoa calendar ...
... is a tetralingual calendar that shows enchanting and enticing topics, ideas or concepts linking ancient Greece and Rome to our times.
The twelve calendar pages are authored by epiStoa members or by students (school or university). Students are strongly invited to submit contributions.

Courses
Ancient Greek Crash Course:
Crash course of Ancient Greek in the Hellenikon Idyllion at the golf of Corinth.
For details, see https://www.idyllion.eu/en
Crash Course: Modern Greek on the fly
Having some knowledge of Ancient Greek one doesn't need to start from scratch when learning Modern Greek, since the writing and vocabulary are rapidly picked up.
The first step is to get acquainted with the phonetics of Modern Greek.
Network and community
Citizens with a background in ancient languages, Latin and/or Greek, amount to 1 to 10 % of the population, depending on the language and country considered.
epiStoa has set up a network of people and invites everybody interested in ancient languages or the European values to join in.
