About Us.
The Hellenic Society of Maine (HSoM) was established for the purpose of preserving and promoting Hellenic ideals, heritage, and culture, and to enhance the understanding of Hellenism in general. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational and cultural organization (current incorporation was in 2009), we are affiliated with the University of Southern Maine and its Hellenic Initiatives program, and we support the official Sister City Relationship between Portland, Maine in the USA, and Mytilene, Lesvos, in Greece.
