The Hymn of Panathinaikos or Syllogos Megalos (Great Club) is the anthem of Panathinaikos A.O.. It was written in 1958. The music is by Giorgos Mouzakis, a well-known musician and trumpeter of the era, and the lyrics are by Giorgos Oikonomidis. Leandros Papathanasiou and later Giannis Vogiatzis were the singers.

According to the composers, the song was written after a winning game of Panathinaikos, while they left together the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium. Oikonomidis wrote some lyrics on a cigarette pack and later Mouzakis added the music.
