Other uses Achaeus disambiguation Achaeus Achaeus of Eretria lang grc born 484 BC in Euboea was a Ancient Greece Greek playwright author of tragedy tragedies and satyr plays , variously said to have written 24, 30, or 44 plays, of which 19 titles are known Adrastus , Aethon , Alcmeon , Alphesiboea , Athla , Azanes , Cycnus , Hephaestus , Iris , Linus , Eumenides , Moirae Fates , Momus , dipus , Omphale , Philoctetes , Phrixus , Pirithous , and Theseus . Achaeus of Eretria was regarded in antiquity as being the 2nd greatest writer of satyr play s, after Aeschylus. ref cite book title Aeschylus and Athens author George Derwent Thomson Thomson, G. page 228 year 1941 publisher Lawrence & Wishart ref His first play was produced in 447 BC and won a prize. A quote in Aristophanes The Frogs suggests he was dead by 405 BC. Some classicists suggest that the fact that he only won a single prize was due to his non Athenian birth, as the men of Athens were loath to honor any but their own fellow citizens. Achaeus of Eretria belongs to the classic age, but is not recognized as a classic writer. His satyric plays were much admired for their spirited style, albeit somewhat labored and lacking in clarity. The philosopher Menedemus thought his plays second only to Aeschylus , he was part of the Alexandrian wiktionary canon canon , and Didymus Chalcenterus Didymus wrote a commentary on him. Athenaeus 10.451c describes him as having a lucid style, but with tendencies to obscurity. Athenaeus also claimed that Euripides took a line from Achaeus, while Aristophanes quotes him twice, in The Frogs and The Wasps .
