Achilleas Stamatiadis

Graduate Researcher in the Humanities

Achilleas A. Stamatiadis holds a BA in Government, History, and International Affairs from Northeastern University. He is a Harvard GSAS program alumnus having spent a research year in Cambridge, Mass and
holds an MA in Comparative literature, Ancient Philosophy and Leadership from the
University of Chicago. Upon receiving his MA degree, he was invited to give a series of Lectures on Humanistic Leadership at UChicago’s CHS, CCH in Paris, and The Paideia Institute in New York City. A section of his MA thesis on ‘Heavenly and Terrestrial manifestations of Aphrodite from Pre-Socratic to Victorian times’ was published by University of Pennsylvania’s ‘Discentes’ journal and can also be traced via The Library of Congress online catalogue.

He has served, for a term, as Special Advisor at The Hellenic Republic’s Foreign Affairs Office and is a full-time Mentor at The Trebuchet Convisero Consortium of Tufts University’s Institute for Global Leadership.

In 2023, backed by a team of academics and executives, he established the Faros Leadership Initiative to advance Research on models of Humanistic Leadership, Renaissance Studies, and the revival of Civic Consciousness inspired by Virtue Ethics. As both a practitioner and researcher, he strongly feels that the Humanities have a lot to teach us about World Human Values and aspires to call himself a Humanist via the daily application of such values, in both words and deeds.

"At Eleusis, one realises, if never before, that there is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy. At Eleusis, one becomes adapted to the cosmos. Outwardly Eleusis may seem broken, disintegrated with the crumbled past; actually, Eleusis is still intact and it is we who are broken, dispersed, crumbling to dust. Eleusis lives; lives eternally in the midst of a dying world."
Henry Miller
