Phantis was introduced to the public on May 1, 1997. It was one of the first ever services dedicated to archiving and indexing web content related to Greece and the Greek diaspora -- or as we like to call it at Phantis: the Greek Cyberspace.

About Phantis
The Name
The name Phantis originates from the Greek word phantis (or fantis) (φάντης) for the Jack of playing cards. The spade (♠) symbol was also used as part of the logotype to denote the Jack of Spades and the Greek phantis (or fantis) bastouni (Φάντης Μπαστούνι). The term fantis bastouni is used in Greek to describe something sudden and unexpected -- He appeared like a fantis bastouni (Jack of Spades) -- (εμφανίστηκε σαν το φάντη μπαστούνι). The term was used to try and describe the nature of the service -- something originating out of nowhere. Independent, yet powerful.
The screen captures to the right show what Phantis looked like when it was first introduced.
