Presentation of YSEE

The Supreme Council Of The Gentile Hellenes (Ypato Symvulio Ellinon Ethnikon - YSEE) was founded in June 1997. Its aim is to defend and restore the ethnic, polytheistic, Hellenic tradition, religion and way in the contemporary Greek society, which is heavily dominated by the Christian Orthodox Church and the dark Byzantine ethos.

YSEE is an umbrella organization. Not only individuals but also Hellenic groups, that keep their autonomy though, and Hellenic journals participate in it.

The goals of YSEE are similar to those of The Return of the Hellenes movement, which I don't know if it still exists or became a member of YSEE.

Flag of YSEE

The flag of YSEE is yellow with the Eagle of Zeus carrying the thunder, inside the kotinos, the olive branch wreath awarded to Olympic winners.

The thunder resembles "the two mirrored E letters" on the flag of the Return of the Hellenes, a symbol used by many similar organizations as it is believed to be ancient and found at many places all over Greece.
