The SAPPHO project was carried out within the framework of the EPET II program and aimed at the promotion of the historical and cultural profile of the Greek islands.
One of the most important benefits from this project was the touristic promotion of the islands through a detailed presentation of their natural and cultural treasures.

This CD-ROM concerns the Greek-Egyptian culture and contains all the historical and cultural information on philosophical and scientific achievements of the Ptolemaic era, historical information on the Library of Alexandria and other socioeconomic and political details.
