The Southeast-European Association for Ancient Philosophy (SEAAP) was initiated by Katerina Ierodiakonou and Pavel Gregoric, with support of Michael Frede, in Oxford in 2001. The aim of SEAAP was to gather scholars working on ancient philosophy from different countries of Southeast Europe, who happen to have very little contact across borders. The constitutive meeting of SEAAP took place in Delphi, 20-21 July 2002. The representatives of eight countries decided that SEAAP will publish an academic journal and organize annual conferences.
The journal Rhizai was launched in early 2004. It was published twice a year with East-West Publishers in Sofia, Bulgaria. After fourteen issues the journal was discontinued in late 2010 and superseded by Rhizomata, published twice a year with De Gruyter, since 2013.
