Hekate: goddess of Darkness

Εκάτη. Greek goddess of sorcery, witchcraft, ghosts, crossroads, the night. Mother of monsters. Patron deity of sorceresses, Summoned by those bearing a grudge to curse their enemies. Εκάτη is worthy of a Halloween episode, but she didn’t start out that way.

The Golden Greek: Harry Agganis

The Golden Greek, Harry Agganis. His life and death are as inspiring as they are heartbreaking. A sports legend by his teens, he broke records in high school and college. He was finally living the dream as a pro baseball player when his bright light was unexpectedly snuffed out.

America & the War for Greek Independence
America & the War for Greek Independence

Ζη’τω η Ελλάδα!! Long live Greece!! March 25 is Greek Independence Day.

In th 1820s, American Philhellenes (φιλ-Ε΄λληνες)- friends of Greece - supported the Greek fight for liberty from 400 hundred years of Ottoman subjugation, despite the US governments non-intervention policy. “Greek Fire,” the passionate obsession with the war, swept through the US, rallying its people to the Greek cause. American citizens raised money for food, medical supplies, and arms.Young American men joined their European counterparts as soldiers fighting a war for liberty, including a diplomat’s son and an enslaved Black man who became heroes in the Greek War for Independence.
