	Biography of Alexis
		Alexis (c.375 - c.275 BC) was a Greek comic poet of the Middle Comedy, born at Thurii and taken early to Athens, where he became a citizen.
		He won his first Lenaean victory in the 350s most likely, where he was sixth after Eubulus, and fourth after Antiphanes.
		Plutarch says that he lived to the age of 106, and that he died on the stage while being crowned.

		The largest and most extravagant occurred in early spring, toward the end of March, and was known as the Great Dionysia, or City Dionysia, to distinguish it from so-called rural Dionysia, which were celebrated on a lesser scale throughout the Attic countryside.
		The Lenaean Dionysia was a smaller and less prestigious affair than the City Dionysia, and theatrical performances were formalized there rather late in the century (about 440 BC).
		Even so, the Lenaea was as public an event as the City Dionysia, and the plots of Lenaean tragedy and comedy likewise reflect the poets' awareness that they were composing before the entire "national" community.

	The Theatre In Greece - Old Greek Comedy
		The Acharnians, played at the time of the Lenaean gathering, is the earliest of the comedies that have come down to us from this author.
		The exact period at which the representations of comedies at the Dionysia were instituted is unknown, but certain Athenian inscriptions establish beyond a doubt that they were in full vigour by 459 B.C. The number of poets entered for competition was three, at the Dionysiac as well as at the Lenaean gathering.
		Four of the comedies of Aristophanes, The Acharnians, The Knights, The Wasps, The Frogs, were given at the Lenaea.

		Agathon's tragedy won him first prize at the Lenaean festival the previous day, and while Socrates shunned the large crowds of yesterday's celebrations, he promised to join Agathon today.

		Agathon's victory comes at the Lenaean festival, one of the dramatic festivals that were so central in Ancient Greek society.

	Aristophanes : The Acharnians : Introduction
		In date it is the earliest play brought out by the author in his own name and his first work of serious importance.
		It was acted at the Lenaean Festival, in January, 426 B.C., and gained the first prize, Cratinus being second.
		Its diatribes against the War and fierce criticism of the general policy of the War party so enraged Cleon that, as already mentioned, he endeavoured to ruin the author, who in 'The Knights' retorted by a direct and savage personal attack on the leader of the democracy.

		Amphitheater seats, carved into the rock, accommodated perhaps as many as seventeen thousand spectators.

		The Odeon was used for theatrical performances and poetry readings, and probably accommodated political and philosophical lectures.
		The Odeon also hosted rehearsals for the Lenaean and Panathenaic festivals, as it provided the acting companies with a year-round housed theatre-space, as well as being used as a gathering place for choruses, a store for theatrical props, and a place to stow tributes to the gods, such as the armour of the dead.
