what is logios?
LOGIOS is a greek word that translates to something like "eloquent, skilled in speech and/or literature." LOGIOS is also an epithet of the greek god hermes, referencing his role as god of eloquent speech. the term is thus used for this tiny press/umbrella name for various self-published works not in a sense of pretentious boasting of skill, but as a subversion of these "classical"/traditional definitions, in the inclusive belief that everyone has the ability to save themselves through the power of their own words, regardless of skill or formal teaching. just as hermes used words to defend himself as an infant from charges of cattle theft, so does everyone have the ability to use words to defend themselves against the daily forces of oppression.
