Despite initial outside investment, all capital stock in Atlantis and its subsidiaries was in family hands by 1921. Editors-in-chief The editor-in-chief of Atlantis was traditionally hired from outside the family. Socrates A. Xanthaky, editor from 1897, left in 1907 to found the rival newspaper Panhellinios. Adamantios Th. Polyzoides was editor from 1907 to 1933; Vladimir Constantinides, from 1933 to 1960. Solon G. Vlasto filled the post for several years. Panayiotis Gazouleas became editor in 1963 until 1972. Early period Originally, Solon J. Vlasto, wrote accounts of events and posted them outside his office door.
