Archemachus of Euboea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archemachus of Euboea (Greek: Aρχεμαχoς) was an ancient Greek writer who wrote on his native island (Euboea). His works consisted of at least three books.[1] Whether this Archemachus was the author of the grammatical work Hai Metonymiai (Aι Μετωνυμιαι),[2] is uncertain. Archemachus was also the name, in Greek mythology, of the son of Heracles and Patro, daughter of Thespius and Megamede.
