Alexander Aetolus

Alexander Aetolus was the greek poet of Alexandria. Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285-246 B.C.E.) determined Alexander  Aetolus  as  an  official  of  the  extended Library of Alexandria. The library was an institution noted for its vast archives that involved centuries of world history and the cultural accomplishment of many peoples. His project was to list and catalogue the tragic dramas domiciliate in the library. Alexander Aetoluss compositions are lost, although the title of one of his plays, Astragalistae, or The Dice Throwers, has survived. Alexanders closer poetic works are noted in  modern times only by fragments that have gone over the centuries.
