Page "Alexis" Paragraph 3

Plutarch says that he lived to the age of 106 and 5 months, and that he died on the stage while being crowned victor.

He was certainly alive after 345 BC, for Aeschines mentions him as alive in that year.

He was also living at least as late as 288 BC, from which his birth date is calculated.

According to the Suda he wrote 245 comedies, of which only fragments including some 130 titles survive.

His plays include Meropis, Ankylion, Olympiodoros, Parasitos ( exhibited in 360 BC, in which he ridiculed Plato ), Agonis ( in which he ridiculed Misgolas ), and the Adelphoi and the Stratiotes, in which he satirized Demosthenes, and acted shortly after 343 BC.
