	Lucius Accius - LoveToKnow 1911
		LUCIUS ACCIUS, Roman tragic poet, the son of a freedman, was born at Pisaurum in Umbria, in 170 B.C. The year of his death is unknown, but he must have lived to a great age, since Cicero (Brutus, 28) speaks of having conversed with him on literary matters.
		Accius wrote other works of a literary character: Didascalicon and Pragmaticon libri, treatises in verse on the history of Greek and Roman poetry, and dramatic art in particular; Parerga and Praxidica (perhaps identical) on agriculture; and an Annales.
		See Boissier, Le Poete Accius, 1856; L. Muller, De Accii fabulis Disputatio (1890); Ribbeck, Geschichte der romischen Dichtung (1892); editions of the tragic fragments by Ribbeck (1897), of the others by Bahrens (1886); Plessis, Poesie latine (1909).

		Lucius Accius of Pisaurum produced one of his early plays in the year 140 B.C., on the same occasion when one of his latest was produced by Pacuvius, then an old man of eighty.
		Accius reached a like age himself; Cicero as a young man knew him well, and used to relate incidents of the aged poet's earlier life which he had heard from his own lips.
		Accius was the last, as he seems to have been the greatest, of his race.

	Ancient Roman Literature, Poetry, Drama - Crystalinks
		While he is never ranked as a writer of tragedy with Ennius, Pacuvius or Accius, he is placed in the canon of the grammarian Volcacius Sedigitus third (immediately after Caecilius and Plautus) in the rank of Roman comic authors.
		As a dramatist he worked more in the spirit of Plautus than of Ennius, Pacuvius, Accius or Terence; but the great Umbrian humorist is separated from his older contemporary, not only by his breadth of comic power, but by his general attitude of moral and political indifference.
		In the interval between the death of Ennius (169) and the advent of Accius, the youngest and most productive of the tragic poets, Pacuvius alone maintained the continuity of the serious drama, and perpetuated the character first imparted to it by Ennius.

	[No title]
		A doubtful tradition mentions him as having also written an epic, or at least a narrative poem, called _Annales_, like that of Ennius; but this in all likelihood is a distorted reflection of the fact that he handed down and developed the great literary tradition left by his predecessor.
		Cassius Hemina and Lucius Calpurnius Piso have been already mentioned; more intimately connected with Scipio are Gaius Fannius, the son-in-law of Laelius, and Lucius Caelius Antipater, who reached, both in lucid and copious diction and in impartiality and research, a higher level than Roman history had yet attained.
		The eloquence of both the Gracchi was their great political weapon; that of Gaius was the most powerful in exciting feeling that had ever been known; and his death was mourned, even by fierce political opponents, as a heavy loss to Latin literature.

	Roman and Byzantine Theatre and Drama
		Only three names of Roman playwrights of tragedy are known from the early times: Quintus Ennius, Marcus Pascuvius, and Lucius Accius.
		The later Roman period had a few surviving plays by Lucius Annareus Seneca who wrote The Trojan Women, Medea, Oedipus, Phaedra and Hercules on Oeta among others.
		Later Seneca's popularity declined, and he committed suicide in 65 A.D. The theatre was certainly not the only form of entertainment in Rome.

	415 Roman Tragedy, Classical Drama and Theatre
		Even the scant glimpse of his drama provided in the surviving fragments shows that Accius' tragedies have a dignity reminiscent of Greek tragedy, in the words of one modern classicist, "vigorous, elevated, solemn and sonorous." Like Pacuvius, Accius also engaged in tragic contaminatio and wrote fabulae praetextae.
		Most important of all, however, the fact that more that a century later Seneca is said to have read Accius' works ties him to the only Roman tragedian whose work survives intact and makes his influence all the greater in Latin—and thus Western—literature.
		From all this and the many extant fragments of his work, we can see that much was lost when Accius' tragedies failed to survive to our day, though arguably more lamentable is that fact that no later writer of Roman tragedy rose to match or surpass his repute.
