Konstantinos F. Skokos (1854-1929) studied Law at the University of Athens but worked as a journalist. He is mainly known as the editor of the Ethniko Imerologio (initially called Geliografikon Imerologion) which was in circulation from 1886 to 1918 and was popular with the Greeks of the diaspora. It was one of the first publications to introduce Cavafy’s poetic work to the general public. Skokos wrote poems as well as humorous stories, vignettes, novels of customs and manners (“romans de mœurs”) and satirical verses.
