About the person: Vlassis G. Rassias (1959-2019) was an ethnic Hellenic economist, historiographer, artist, poet, translator, publisher, author of over twenty-five books and a leading figure in the Re-Hellenization movement in Greece. He transferred both Epictetus‘ “Enchiridion” and Sallustios‘ “On the Gods and the World” into contemporary Greek. Rassias was a founding member of the Supreme Council of Ethnic Hellenes (YSEE), whose General secretary he was, and co-founder of the European Congress of Ethnic Religions (ECER, formerly WCER). He represented the Hellenic tradition in many TV shows, radio broadcasts, magazines and at the Parliament of the World's Religions 2018 in Toronto, Canada. In his function as the General secretary of YSEE, he had given more than 150 lectures about Hellenismos in several countries. Vlassis G. Rassias was a Stoic.

"The Hellenic tradition is, like any other ethnic tradition, only accountable to itself and does not depend on what others think about it."
Vlassis G. Rassias: From a lecture that was held at the Hellenic philosophical institution "Hekatēvólos" on June 9, 2018, in Athens, Greece.

“Greek religion: religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Hellenes. Greek religion is not the same as Greek mythology, which is concerned with traditional tales, though the two are closely interlinked. Curiously, for a people so religiously minded, the Greeks had no word for religion itself; the nearest terms were eusebeia (‘piety’) and threskeia (‘cult’).” (Encyclopædia Britannica: Greek religion, in: Encyclopædia Britannica Online, retrieved: June 15, “2013”).
