The Alkifron was erotic poet, and sophist correspondent. Everybody knows the big names that the ancient Greek literature bequeathed us (Plato, Thucydides, Sophocles). Near them but there is a multitude of smaller ones. One of them is the Alkifronas, who lived just before the theocratic hand of Emperor Theodosius definitively bury the ancient spirit (3rd century AD). The Alkifronas dealt mainly with correspondence, a genre dear to the ancient Greeks.
