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