	Achaeus of Eretria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Achaeus of Eretria (in Greek Aχαιος; born 484 BC) in Euboea was a Greek playwright author of tragedies and satyr plays, variously said to have written 24, 30, or 44 plays, of which 19 titles are known, some of which include Adrastus, Linus, Cycnus, Eumenides, Philoctetes, Pirithous, Theseus, and Œdipus.
		Some classicists suggest that his winning only one prize was due to him not an Athenian by birth, and the men of Athens were loath to honor any but their own fellow-citizens.
		Achaeus of Eretria belongs to the classic age, but was not himself a classic, though his satyric plays were much admired for their spirited style, albeit somewhat labored and lacking in clearness.

		Accordingly, when a young man behaved with boldness towards him, he did not say a word, but took a bit of stick and drew on the floor an insulting picture; until the young man, perceiving the insult that was meant in the presence of numbers of people, went away.
		He was very hospitable and fond of entertaining his friends; and because Eretria was unhealthy, he used to have a great many parties, particularly of poets and musicians.
		And these lines are out of the satiric play of Achaeus called Omphale; so that they are mistaken who say that he had never read anything but the Medea of Euripides, which is found, they add, in the collection of Neophron, the Sicyonian.

		The first eight all produced at least partly in the 5th century: Pratinas of Phlius, Aristias of Phlius, Ion of Chios, Achaeus of Eretria, Critias of Athens and Iophon of Athens, Philocles the Elder of Athens, Agathon of Athens.
		That there are 32 fragments of 10 titled plays, probably all satyric according to CP, would tend, I think, to defend Menedemus of Eretria from the charge of mere local pride in placing Achaeus second after Aeschylus in the field of satyr play.

		Both these accounts of Achaeus, as the representative of the Achaeans, are correct in this, that the Achaeans, had two settlements from remote periods -- the one in the south of Thessaly -- the other in the Peloponnesus.
		The legend which makes Achaeus the brother of Ion, tends likewise to prove, that if the Ionians were originally Pelasgic, so also were the Achaeans.
		Although Ion is said to have given the name of Ionians to the Atticans, yet long before his time the Iaones were among the ancient inhabitants of the country; and Herodotus (the best authority on the subject) declares that the Ionians were Pelasgic and indigenous.

		But Pratinas, who was an older contemporary of Aeschylus, appears to have written fifty plays, and of these it has been recorded that thirty-two were satyric.
		And Achaeus of Eretria, a contemporary of Sophocles who was famous for his satyr plays, appears to have composed three out of four of his works in this genre, though the documentation for this is not perfectly secure.
		BUT THE most eloquent evidence of what Greek tragedy was really like lies in the mythological subject matter of the lost plays and in a thoughtful consideration of the lush, luxuriant, and altogether lustful domain of Greek mythology in its entirety.
