Born in Athens to a Limassol native, he pursued a distinguished career in both law and public service. Zenon studied at the School of Limassol and earned a degree in law from the University of Athens in 1908. He returned to Limassol in 1909 to practice law and soon became deeply involved in civic and national affairs. Zenon volunteered in the Balkan Wars (1912–1913), fighting in Bizani as part of the Matthaiopoulou Brigade. He was a Limassol City Councilor (1913–1914, 1917–1920), Deputy Mayor (1914–1917), and a member of the Provincial Education Committee (1911, 1913). He served as the Administrator of the Greek Schools of Limassol (1913) and later became their President during both of his mayoral terms (1920–1926, 1927–1930). Zenon was also a member of the National Council and the Pankyprionikis Committee, reflecting his commitment to national and educational causes. This photograph captures Alecos Zenon in formal attire.
