Helenius Acro

Helenius Acro (undoubtedly before the third century after J. - C.) was a grammairien of ancient Rome.

He probably lived at the time of Marc-Aurèle, but certainly front Pomponius Porphyrion, the commentator of Horace. He wrote itself of the comments on poetries of Horace and parts of Terence. He worked certainly on the Adelphes of Terence and probably also on his Eunuque . It is doubted if he also wrote a comment on the satirist Perse.

The works of Acro are known for us only indirecrement, by Charisius, which depends itself on Iulius Romanus.

Formerly, one regarded as being of Helenius Acro varied scholies on Horace which one now allots to Pseudo-Acro, because the manuscripts of these scholies which bear the name of Acro do not go up beyond the fifteenth century. However, it is not impossible that part of these scholies goes back indeed to true Helenius Acro.
