Description
Alexis was a Greek comic poet. He is said to have been a great gourmand, but to have lived to one hundred six and to have died on stage while receiving an award. His son Stephanus and his nephew Menander were both comic poets. Of his 245 comedies, only fragments have survived, of which the best titled was surely his Dorkis, the Poppyzousa.
