and Literary Magazines
The project of digitizing the contents of important literary magazines and the creation of an electronic library was implemented by EKEBI with funds from the Operational Programme “Information Society” (Third Community Support Framework), under the coordination of the Ministry of Culture (public co-financing 75% from the ERDF and 25% from the Ministry of Culture).
The magazines “Nea Estia”, “Odos Panos”, “Planodion”, “Periplous”,, “I Lexi”, “Oropedio”, “Intellectum” and “To Dentro”were digitized as part of the project. These are the magazines that responded directly to the implementation of the project by granting permission to digitize and upload their back issues, starting from the year of their establishment up to the date indicated by each one of them.

Planodion
1986 – TODAY
Among the notable literary magazines published in the 1980s, Planodion has a very distinct identity, thanks to some features, unique in the history of the literary magazine press. According to its editor Yannis Patilis, it was an “identity magazine”, i.e. a magazine whose purpose was “the exclusive representation of the artistic and intellectual particularities of the contributors to its publication”, as opposed to the cultural-literary magazine “whose main aim is the general representation of literary production”.

Intellectum is a biannual journal of reflection containing articles, studies, contributions, interviews and short stories. It was launched in 2006 by the Intellectum Scientific Group and has published nine issues to date.
To Dentro
1978 – TODAY
From its first issue, published in March 1978, “To Dentro“ (The Tree) focused on short texts (poetry, essays, prose) of Greek and foreign literature, as well as commentary on domestic cultural life. Through the “Fylla“ (Leaves) column, as it was called, it sought to make a kind of intervention in intellectual matters. At the same time, being in touch with foreign, contemporary literary production, “To Dentro“ made sure to publish reviews, information and comments on it in the “Anagnoseis“ (Readings) column. In time, other columns were created, which hosted articles on cinema, music, theatre and philology.
The website was implemented within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0”, funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
