description	The sudden and unexpected passing of Minos X. Kyriakou on 2 July 2017 is a terrible loss to Greece, the wider Hellenic community around the world, and this journal. Born in Athens, Greece, in 1942 to a family that was involved in shipping dating back to the middle of the nineteenth century, Kyriakou greatly expanded the original family business and took it to impressive new heights. This included his launch of Athenian Tankers Holdings, a successful global shipping business with a significant fleet of tankers, in the aftermath of the global oil shocks of the 1970s. In the late 1980s, Kyriakou had the foresight to diversify his business and entered the media world by founding one of the first private radio stations in Greece, followed by Antenna TV (ANT1), a leading private television channel in Greece. To be sure, other aspects of this modern-day Alexander's life demonstrate that Greece and the Mediterranean region were very near and dear to Kyriakou's heart.
