Stefanos Alexiadis was born on October 18, 1993, in Thessaloniki, where he still lives. He studied Greek Philology at the Democritus University of Thrace and completed his master's degree in Special Education and Oral and Written Language Problems at the Hellenic Open University and the University of Thessaly. At the same time, he completed the Pedagogical Department at the International Hellenic University and has been trained in the Braille writing and reading system for the blind.

In 2022, he was the keynote speaker at the 9th TEDx conference held by the University of Macedonia. His TEDx talk was about the acceptance of diversity.

His first book, The Winged Sandals, was released in 2021 and a year later won the 2022 Greek Teen Literature Award from Public.

"Markos, we are continuing in vain. You better prepare your things. You understand that I would never leave you here alone." Markos nervously grabs the clothes his aunt has already taken off him since the morning. Among them are plain t-shirts, jeans, a new short-sleeved shirt he bought himself from a well-known store on Tsimiski Street, and scarves. Many scarves for the neck. He has been wearing them since a very young age. His mother taught him these. It was her habit. She was. Three combinations he never parted with: white-blue, white-red, white-black. All these clothes must be arranged in a specific way so they don't get wrinkled. Especially the scarves. He will no longer have his aunt running after him. It is time to wean. "Since mom died, you have forgotten how to speak, to have a conversation..." Elias's reversed hand rises, ready to land on his son's cheek. It comes down at the same moment. He is not that kind of father. Nor that kind of person. That feeling that arises inside him every time the conversation turns to Elena causes it. He loses his composure.
