Epitome [ɪˈpɪt.ə.mi], [i-ˈpi-tə-mē]: A summary of a written work, a book, a story; more specifically, of history. The Epitome collection is born from a gamble: we asked top specialists to explain the essence of a question concerning Greece, from its origins till today. It allows the French School at Athens to utilize original research data in the most synthetic way possible and to promote the acquisition of knowledge to the widest possible audience. In a short format, published simultaneously in English, French and Greek, this new collection aims to put within reach of all the keys to understanding the current challenges of Hellenism.
