Asmodaios (newspaper)
Asmodaios (Greek: Ασμοδαίος) was a 19th-century Greek satirical newspaper published weekly in Athens.
History
Asmodaios was founded in 1875 by the satirical writer Emmanouil Roïdis and the journalist and cartoonist Themos Anninos. This newspaper was published for a decade, from 1875 to 1885, with only a short break in July 1876. The masthead featured a cartoon of the demon Asmodeus, playfully drawn as an archer and a combination of Cupid and Satyr.
Content
The paper was known for satire of a gentle, humorous sort without personal rancour, and Anninos' cartoons were widely recognised for their artistic quality. Contributors included and Anninos' brother Babis Anninos.
