Encyclopedia > Acron
For the town of this name, see Acron, Florida.

Helenius Acron (or Acro) was a commentator of the 2nd century.


He is known to have written on Terence (Adelphi and Eunuchus at least) and Horace, but these commentaries are now lost. There is some evidence for a commentary on Persius.


Scholia attributed to Acron appear in manuscripts of Horace, and were published in two volumes by O. Keller 1902-04; there are three recensions known, the earliest dating to the 5th century. The attribution to Acron, however, is not found before the 15th century, and is doubtful.


Fragments of Acron's writing may also appear in Pomponius Porphyrion.

Priests of Acron (1130 words)
Acron forged an alliance with Hamid, the Ancient One was to protect Hamid and his brethren, as long as they would protect the pearl from anyone who wished to possess it.
Acron seems to have taken a certain appreciation for his followers, especially considering that he still supports them even though the Black Pearl was stolen and ultimately lost during the year of the dead.
Acron is very warlike, especially when it comes to proving his superiority over the forces of life (Ascan and his followers), and so grants some of his priests with fierce combat abilities.
