Tagis was born in Monodendri of Ioannina (then part of the Ottoman Empire) in 1839.[1][2] He graduated from the Rizarios School of Athens and later from the Philolological School of the University of Athens where he was awarded the teacher of philology degree.[2][3] He initially taught in the Gymnasium of Samos, after in Crete and then in Halki.[1] In 1873, he founded, along with others, a Greek high school in Pera of Constantinople (officially Konstaniniyye) and taught in it with his brother, Filippos.[4] Later, in 1869, he was elected a member of the Greek Philological Society of Constantinople (Ελληνικός Φιλολογικός Σύλλογος εν Κωνσταντινούπολει).[5] He also taught in the Vasmatzidis School of Pera and in the famous Zografeion Lyceum.[2]
He wrote interpretations of the Aristotelian definitions of tragedy, elegies, pindar odes and commented on Xenophon and the myths of Aesop.[6] He spoke the Ancient Greek language fluently and completed a Delphic Hymn in 1894.[6]
