On April 26, 2026, the first lecture and interactive session of the newly established AHC Hellenic Lyceum series was held with great success. The event was attended by a large and engaged audience of philosophy enthusiasts, who are already looking forward to the next installment in the series.

Our board member, Dr. Menas Kafatos, delivered a compelling presentation titled “The Reality of Ancient Hellenic Philosophy: An Interactive Introduction.” The lecture explored the foundational philosophical ideas of Plato and Aristotle—and through them, Socrates—featuring excerpts from The Republic, Nicomachean Ethics, and The Athenian Constitution. Dr. Kafatos is a professor at Chapman University and Director of the Institute of ECHO.

The presentation was recorded and will soon be available for the public to view.

The event was organized in collaboration with the Basil P. Caloyeras Center for Modern Greek Studies at LMU.
