History
Asmodaios was founded in 1875 by the satirical writer Emmanouil Roïdis and the journalist and cartoonist Themos Anninos, and was published weekly until 1885 with only a small break in 1876.
The masthead featured a cartoon of the demon Asmodeus, playfully drawn as 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 Georgios Souris and Anninos' brother Babis Anninos.[1]:29 [2]
