Association of Friends of the Ancient Hellenic Civilization “Elefsis”
The Association of Friends of the Ancient Hellenic Civilization “Elefsis” was established in early 2000 in Lefkosia (Nicosia), Cyprus. It started out as a group of friends who shared research interests on the real meanings of what is called Ancient Hellenic (Greek) Civilization. As time passed, this small group evolved into a large association of people with common interests, objectives and aspirations.
