Alexis (Ancient Greek: Ἄλεξις, c.394 BC – c.288 BC) was a Greek comic poet of the Middle Comedy period. He was born at Thurii (in present day Calabria, Italy) in Magna Graecia and taken early to Athens, where he became a citizen, being enrolled in the deme Oion (Οἶον) and the tribe Leontides. It is thought he lived to the age of 106 and died on the stage while being crowned. According to the Suda, a 10th century encyclopedia, Alexis was the paternal uncle of the dramatist Menander and wrote 245 comedies, of which only fragments now survive, including some 130 preserved titles.
It was said he had a son, called Stephanus, who also wrote comedies. He appears to have been rather addicted to the pleasures of the table, according to Athenaeus.
He won his first Lenaean victory in the 350s BC, most likely, where he was sixth after Eubulus, and fourth after Antiphanes. While being a Middle Comic poet, Alexis was contemporary with several leading figures of New Comedy, such as Philippides, Philemon, Diphilus, and even Menander. There is also some evidence that, during his old age, he wrote plays in the style of New Comedy.

Plot: Mancano pochi minuti alla fine dell'Ottocento e, davanti alla cattedrale di Santiago del Cile, un mendicante sente che sta per lasciare questo mondo. Decide così di raccontare la sua storia. Il pover'uomo è Julius Popper, ingegnere rumeno che nel 1860 aveva inventato un nuovo sistema per estrarre l'oro e si era insediato nella Tierra del Fuego, in Patagonia, in nome della regina Carmen Sylba. Molti i personaggi e gli avvenimenti che gli tornano in mente. Dalla maitresse Armenia, sua amante, all'avventuriero italiano Spiro, dal sergente austriaco Novak alla bellissima india Elisa, al gallese Silveira, nostalgico delle cornamuse. Ma la lotta per il possesso del prezioso metallo lo porterà a scontrarsi con i proprietari terrieri e con gli indios. Popper diventa così il "Re dei Paramos (le lande desolate della Terra del Fuoco)" e si circonda di un esercito fantasma che gli servirà per arrivare allo sterminio degli indios, in nome di un falso progresso.

Genres: Drama,Alexis, thank you for a pleasant southern day
Spent on the levy throwin' pennies in the bay
And talkin 'bout the rich folks
On the big boats that pass that way
You were just a young girl
I just could not stay
Alexis, I can't remember how we met back then
Was on my way to Atlanta, now I'm on that road again
Not really poor, had money just not to spend
You were just a young girl, and I was in need of a
friend
Alexis, you always used to talk about
Leavin your hometown, headin on south
Maybe down to New Orleans
And you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl
And I was just a hobo... that had my doubts
Alexis, I did not want to... want to leave you there
Sometimes this life we lead is so unfair
I wanted to take you with me
But I did not dare
You were just a young girl and I could not pay your
fare
Alexis, you always used to talk about
Leavin your hometown, headin on south
Maybe down to New Orleans
And you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl
And I was just a hobo... that had my doubts
