ABSTRACT

The author knew well what his "problem" was: how to bring together those initiates of today, those seers and scientists, those Epoptai, "Overseers," whose function is no longer clear, and whose very name, in English, is degraded. An infinite deal of wisdom is expounded every day in public and in private; but it does not pierce even the crust of human inertia. It would not be very difficult for us," he went on, "to bring together from many places men whose actions show that they would understand and encourage the thing we are dreaming of. Having the costumes under way, the author called a meeting of the older members of the Lyceum Club, the only woman's club in Athens, and told them what we were planning.
