Pontic eagle

[4] Coins minted in Sinope, one of the earliest Pontic Greek settlements, depict eagles as early as 330 BCE.

For example, the Committee For Pontian Studies, which produces the Greek-language journal Archeion Pontou, has used the Pontic eagle as a symbol since the 1920s.

On the Feast of the Dormition, Pontian Greeks in northern Greece hold a procession, carrying the icon of the Virgin Mary.

[6][7] During a ceremony to commemorate the Greek genocide, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America used a banner depicting the Pontic eagle.

The Komninoi Pontian Society, based in Queens in New York City in the USA, uses a yellow flag with a black Pontic eagle.

[12] The Pontian Brotherhood of South Australia, based in Adelaide, also uses a yellow flag with a black Pontic eagle.

[14] The Argonauti-Komninoi Pontic Greek Association, based in Athens, uses a yellow flag with black lineart depicting an eagle and the Argonaut.

[15] The Apollon Pontou F.C., a men's football club based in Kalamaria, Greece, was founded by Pontian refugees in 1926.

The soccer club was intended to give Pontian youth a space to belong; like Apollon Pontus F.C., however, it accepts players of all ethnicities.
