Aeschylus of Alexandria
Aeschylus of Alexandria (Greek Αισχύλος ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς) was an epic poet who must have lived before the end of the 2nd century, and whom Athenaeus calls a well-informed man. One of his poems bore the title "Amphitryon," and another "Messeniaca." A fragment of the former is preserved in Athenaeus.[1] According to Zenobius,[2] he had also written a work on proverbs.[3]
