Achaeus Of Eretria
Achaeus of Eretria (; born 484 BC in Euboea) was a Greek playwright and author of tragedies and satyr plays. He is variously said to have written 24, 30, or 44 plays, of which 19 titles are known: ''Adrastus'', ''Aethon'', ''Alcmeon'', ''Alphesiboea'', ''Athla'', ''Azanes'', ''Cycnus'', ''Eumenides'', ''Hephaestus'', ''Iris'', ''Linus'', ''Moirai'' (Fates), ''Momus'', ''Oedipus'', ''Omphale'', ''Philoctetes'', ''Phrixus'', ''Pirithous'', and ''Theseus''. Achaeus of Eretria was regarded in antiquity as being the second greatest writer of satyr plays, after Aeschylus. Achaeus' first play was produced in 447 BC and won a prize. A quote in Aristophanes' '' The Frogs'' suggests he was dead by around 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 honour any but their own fellow-citizens. Achaeus of Eretria belongs to the classic age, but is not recognized as a classic writer. His sa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Achaeus (son Of Seleucus I Nicator)
Achaeus (; flourished 3rd century BC) was a Seleucid nobleman and was the second son born to King and founder of the Seleucid Empire Seleucus I Nicator and Sogdian noblewoman Apama I. Background Achaeus was of Greek and Sogdian descent. He had three siblings: one brother the Seleucid King Antiochus I Soter and two sisters: Apama and Laodice. Achaeus is sometimes called ''Achaeus the Elder'', to distinguish him from his grandson the Seleucid General, Achaeus. He was a wealthy man and owned estates in Anatolia. Achaeus was a benefactor for those who assisted during the war against the Galatians. The Seleucid military campaign against the Galatians took place between 269-267 BC, during the reign of Antiochus I. Those who had assisted Antiochus I and Achaeus were taken prisoner and Achaeus paid for their ransom to be released. Antiochus I won this military campaign. Those who had Achaeus as their benefactor inscribed their benefaction on a stone stele and placed it in the sanctuary ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Achaeus (general)
Achaeus (, ''Achaiós''; died 214 BC) was a general and later a separatist ruler of part of the Ancient Greece, Greek Seleucid Empire, Seleucid kingdom. He was the son of Andromachus (son of Achaeus), Andromachus, whose sister Laodice II married Seleucus II Callinicus, the father of Antiochus III the Great. He accompanied Seleucus III Ceraunus, the son of Callinicus, in his expedition across mount Taurus Mountains, Taurus against Attalus I, and after the assassination of Seleucus III Ceraunus revenged his death; and though he might easily have assumed the royal power right then, he remained faithful to Antiochus III, brother of Seleucus III, for the time being, that is until he proclaimed himself king in 220 BC. During a military engagement between Ptolemy III and Seleucus II, the precise circumstances of which are still unknown, his father Andromachus fell captive to Ptolemy III. Andromachus was eventually suggested to be a bargaining chip which would force Achaeus to join forc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Legendary Kings Of Scotland
The Scottish Renaissance humanist George Buchanan gave a long list of Scottish Kings in his history of Scotland—published in Latin as ''Rerum Scoticarum Historia'' in 1582—most of whom are now considered by historians to be figures of legend, or completely misrepresented. The list went back around 1900 years from his time, and began with Fergus I. James VI of Scotland, who was Buchanan's pupil, adopted the story of Fergus I as his ancestor, and the antiquity of the line was emphasised by the House of Stuart. Dynastic importance The genealogy of Scottish kings, going back to Fergus mac Ferchar (i.e. Fergus I) and beyond, was in place by the middle of the 13th century when it was recited at the 1249 inauguration of Alexander III of Scotland. In 1301 Baldred Bisset was involved in a hearing at the Papal Curia, on the Scottish side of the debate on Edward I of England's claims, and at least helped prepare material dealing with the mythological history that was being adduced as r ...
