ABOUT US

EPOPS is a non-profit publishing house founded by members of the Lykos family, who are majority shareholders of Austriacard AG, an international IT company traded on both the Vienna and Athens Stock Exchanges.

"We believe in providing enriching experiences for our readers and authors alike, fostering intellectual exploration and knowledge for all."

Lykos, Athens 1897

Security and artistry intertwined. Guilloche patterns graced documents, which then evolved into accessible books under the banner of EPOPS Publishing, a knowledge protector. Aged presses, once financial instruments, now birthed digital titans churning out ideas and knowledge for all. Vaults, guardians of sensitive documents, have become fortresses for vast electronic libraries. Once, security engineers safeguarded physical assets; now, their expertise shields digital treasures.

 

The heart of EPOPS beats with the same dedication that animated Lykos for over a century. It transcends ink and paper, a belief in the enduring power of ideas –the need to preserve and share them in a world often enamored with the fleeting. This belief, fueled by a legacy of craftsmanship and security, transforms each publication into a testament to the past and a beacon for the future.

EPOPS isn't a secession with Lykos, but its spirit in metamorphosis. While Lykos safeguards the physical manifestations of transactions and identity, EPOPS protects the ideas and stories that shape us. It's a metamorphosis, mirroring the Epops bird, where focus shifts from the tangible to the eternal, reminding us that even in a world of constant change, the enduring power of the written word deserves the highest protection.
