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.

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 [el] and Anninos' brother Babis Anninos.^{[1]: 29  [2]}
