the magazine connecting children with Greece

Publisher was Drossoula Vassiliou-Elliott,
with the highly significant editorial team of
Eleni Gazi-Arvaniti, Marianna Veremi,
and Hilary Sakellariadi.

With the publication of the magazine, they aimed to enrich children's knowledge with material that schools did not cover at the time, while also offering knowledge in a different way.

το ρόδι was a magazine designed to encourage participation
and dialogue with children,
beyond its educational purpose.

 Some of the most renowned authors of the time contributed their stories to το ρόδι, including Nikiforos Vrettakos, Alki Zei, Manos Kontoleon, Tatiana Milliex, Eirini Nakou, Kira Sinou, and Eugenios Trivizas, among others. Alongside children's illustrations, the magazine was further enriched by the work of esteemed visual artists such as Alexis Akrithakis, Aginoras Asteriadis, Spyros Vasileiou, Giannis Gaitis, Alexis Kyritsopoulos, Giannis Koutsouris, Antonis Kalamaras, Mentis Bostantzoglou (Bost), and Spyros Ornerakis. Educators, scientists, historians, musicians, psychologists, and pediatricians also shared their expertise through monthly articles. It was this collective effort, the combined voices of storytellers, artists, and scholars, that made το ρόδι an instant favorite among children and parents alike.
