The symbol of the team is the ancient wolf with the crown of King Diomedes. Popularly nicknamed the "Wolves", the team won for the first time the EHF Challenge Cup in 2012, downing in the final Wacker Thun.[1] It was also the first time a Greek team won a European title in a handball club competition.
