History

The newspaper was first published in 1913 with a Venizelist political thesis. Always in the progressive political spectrum, it supported later Georgios Papandreou and Center Union. In 1970, during the Greek military junta of 1967-74, it was forced to stop publishing. In 1981, Dimitris Varos relaunched it as a colour tabloid.
The newspaper was owned for years by Pegasus Publishing SA. In 2017 was sold to Dimera Media Investments, owned by Ivan Savvidis. Dimera reportedly acquired the two Ethnos titles for 3 million euros.
On August 9th 2020 the Sunday edition ceased circulation following the daily edition which stopped circulating on July 31st 2019.
