The name “Bythos” carries with it a depth of history and meaning that mirrors the ethos of our publishing house. Originating from ancient Greek, “Bythos” was a term embraced by philosophers and mystics across ages, from Plato to the Gnostics and Neoplatonists, even finding resonance in the biblical texts. It signifies depth—not just in the physical sense, as in the depth of the sea, but more profoundly, it represents the depths of thought, understanding, and the very essence of being. Bythos speaks to our core mission: to dive deep beneath the surface of the conventional, to explore the profound mysteries of life, thought, and spirit. Bythos Press is a vessel on this voyage of discovery, navigating through the uncharted waters of human knowledge and creativity, seeking to unearth and share the treasures that lie hidden in the depths of our collective consciousness.

Standing as a beacon for profound philosophical insights and aesthetic beauty, our mission is to publish fiction, non-fiction, academic works, photo books, poetry, and comics that delve deep into the essence of our existence and our world. We aim to showcase masterpieces by unknown or less known authors, offering them a platform to share their visions with the world.

In pursuit of this mission, Bythos Press is more than a publishing house; we are a community of thinkers, dreamers, and creators. We organize writer retreats, podcasts, and TED events to foster a dialogue on crucial 21st-century themes such as political and social philosophy, economy, environmentalism, science, and religion. Bythos Press is dedicated to bringing new and fresh visions to the forefront, enriching the intellectual and cultural landscape of our times.
