Hello, I’m Andreas Kontokanis, an ardent philomath with a kaleidoscope of hobbies ranging from the sciences to the arts, including but not limited to philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology. My latest odyssey is into the etymology of the English language, with a particular focus on words of Hellenic origin, a project that bridges the past with the present, enriching our collective lexicon.

This scholarly expedition, my polymath pursuit, incurs annual expenses of approximately $1,000. Should this voyage through the roots of knowledge and the spectrum of my interests resonate with you, I welcome your support via PayPal. Your contribution, akin to the ancient concept of patronage, will fuel the continuity of this exploration and is immensely appreciated.
