Archemachus of Euboea

Archemachus of Euboea ( _el. Aρχεμαχoς) was an ancient Greek writer who wrote on his native island (Euboea). His works consisted of at least three books. [Strabo, "Geographia", x.; Athenaeus, "Deipnosophistae", vi.; Clement of Alexandria, "Stromata", i.; Harpocration, "Lexicon", s. v. "kotylaion oros"; Plutarch, "Moralia", "De Iside et Osiride", 27] Whether this Archemachus was the author of the grammatical work "Hai Metonymiai" (Aι Μετωνυμιαι), [Scholium ad Apollonius of Rhodes, "Argonautica", iv. 262.] is uncertain. Archemachus was also the name, in Greek mythology, of the son of Heracles and Patro, daughter of Thespius and Megamede.
