Archemachus of Euboea

Archemachus or Archemacchus (Ancient Greek: Ἀρχέμαχoς) was an ancient Greek writer who wrote on his native island (Euboea). His works consisted of at least three books.[1] Whether this Archemachus was the author of the grammatical work Metonyms (Aἱ Μετωνυμίαι, Hai Metonymiai),[2] is uncertain.
