Alexander (Gr. Ἀλέξανδρος) of Athens was a comic poet, the son of Aristion, whose name occurs in an inscription given in Böckh,[1] who refers it to the 145th Olympiad in 200 BC.[2] There seems also to have been a poet of the same name who was a writer of the Middle Comedy, quoted by the Scholiast on Homer,[3] and Aristophanes[4] and Athenaeus.[5][6]
