Lucius Accius (/ˈæksiəs/; 170 – c. 86 BC), or Lucius Attius,[1] was a Roman tragic poet and literary scholar. Accius was born in 170 BC at Pisaurum, a town founded in the Ager Gallicus in 184 BC.[2] He was the son of a freedman and a freedwoman,[3] probably from Rome.[4]
The year of his death is unknown, but he must have lived to a great age, since Cicero[5] (born 106 BC, hence 64 years younger) writes of having conversed with him on literary matters.[6]
