•
Lucius Accius, also found as
Attius, was one of the earliest tragic poets at Rome. He was the son of a
freedman, and modeled most of his tragedies on
Aeschylus and other Greek examples, but he also wrote
Praetextata, works on Roman subjects, an
Annales, or history of Rome in verse, and some prose works, including a history of poetry. He was greatly admired for his language, but only fragments of his works are preserved. •
Titus Accius, an
eques from Pisaurum, who in 66 BC undertook the prosecution of
Aulus Cluentius Habitus for the alleged murder of his stepfather,
Statius Albius Oppianicus. Cluentius was famously defended by
Cicero in his oration
Pro Cluentio. Accius had studied rhetoric under Hermagoras, and Cicero praises him for his careful and deliberate style and command of
Latin.
