The Panhellenion Phonograph Record Company, commonly referred to as Panhellenion Records, was an American record label, started in 1919[1] which issued numerous 78rpm records featuring ethnic Greek music. Founded by Kiria Koulas (alternates: Coulas,[2] Giortzi-Andonopoulou) who had become the prominent Greek recording artist in America while recording for Columbia Records. As such, it is almost certainly the first female-owned record label.[3] The label was associated with Emerson Records.[4] It was successful enough to open a branch office in Chicago. The label folded in 1927 with the death of Koulas' husband.[3] The label is an important part of the preservation of the Greek music heritage of popular Greek folk paradosiako dimotiko and rebetiko music style tradition.[5]
