You thought correctly Dean. it's a poster from Cyprus. I am puzzled if it was issued during the liberation struggle of 1955-59 or in early 60's after independence.
I don't know what ΕΠ.Κ.Α (EP.K.A) means but i guess that the letters K and A stand for Κυπρίων Αγωνιστών (Cypriot fighters).

The only kind of Greek I read and write is ancient Greek

Impressive. I did ancient Greek for 3 years in high school and it was a pain in the @ss.

Imagine that back then i was considering Latin to be easier

Well, I think it helped a lot, that I was 23 at the time.
High-School is not always the best place to learn ancient, "dead" languages.
At the moment I use it all the time. Research, teaching, for fun
Best decision I ever made

Hello don_kihoti7
Maybe ΕΠ. stands for ΕΠΙΤΡΟΠΗ?? COUNCIL or COMMISSION..??

[don_kihotis7]

Hi Stratos,
i can't find anything online about ΕΠ.Κ.Α. The only thing that i managed to find is Π.Ε.Κ.Α. (PEKA) which stands for Πολιτική Επιτροπή Κυπριακού Αγώνος (Political Commision of Cypriot Struggle) which was established in 1956.

[Stratos]

Cant find either so i made a guess..Since it is ΕΠ and not Ε.Π. its one word, thats is why i said ΕΠΙΤΡΟΠΗ.

Possible. It's weird that this entity existed and issued posters etc but no report can be found on line

[Stratos]

Υep, weird.
Maybe you try to ask some older guys there in Cyprus.If you still are there of course.

Again Thank you Guys, funny a Mystery in a fairly modern item.

Strange.Maybe it was something not so important. {The ΕΠ can be for ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΣΗ (enterprise) ??? EΠΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΗ (revolution) ???? }
