It is ready, beautiful, free, and is named KOINONIA, the new Elpenor's Communities, where we are invited to discuss about the entire Greek culture, from Ancient to Modern times: theology and philosophy, education, poetry and history, the religions, everyday life - all subjects can be discussed, kindly and carefully.

  KOINONIA is meant to be Elpenor's heart, an organ that we develop together in order to know each other and think the questions that we study, trying to understand the challenges of our lives in the light of Greece. It is not, and Elpenor won't let it become, an opportunity for impertinence to shout and despise. Mail contact with many visitors of Elpenor showed that there are chances for us to have a serious discussion, away from ideologies.

  I'd like to thank you all who wrote in the last weeks about this forum and helped in shaping its character, which is created flexible enough to change for the better in the course of time. Bookmark the address at http://www.ellopos.net/elpenor/koinonia/, create a shortcut on your desktop, a link on your website, whatever is convenient for you to use and promote this new place of interactive exploration of the great root and trunk of our thinking. If you visit KOINONIA now, maybe yours will be the first post!

* Word can not hyphenate polytonic Greek. Download Ancient Greek Hyphenator for Word 2000/XP. It is a template that adds hyphenation macros. I have tried it in a long document (900 pages) written in polytonic (ancient and modern) Greek, and it worked without faults and very fast. Warm congratulations to St. Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastery for this excellent tool.
