Alexēs Aslanoglou, literary prseudonym of Nikolaos Arslanoglou, was born in Thessalonikē in 1931 by parents coming from Asia Minor. He belongs to the second post-war generation of Greek poets. He appeared on the Greek literary scene in 1952 with the poetic one-act play "Sea and Synchronization".

In 1979, he moved from Thessalonikē to Athens. He traveled extensively in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He was awarded a distinction by the Municipality of Thessalonikē (1957) and a grant by the Ministry of Culture (1974-1976, 1994). He was also honoured by the Municipality of Athens (1986). He died in Athens in 1996.
