Aristarchus or Aristarch of Tegea ( Ancient Greek : Ἀρίσταρχος ὁ Τεγεάτης , Aristarkhos ho Tegeates ) was a Greek tragic poet and a contemporary of Sophocles and Euripides . He lived to be a centenarian, composed seventy plays, and won two tragic victories. Only the titles of three of his plays ( Achilles , Asclepius , and Tantalus ), along with a single line of the text, have come down to us, although Ennius freely borrowed from his play about Achilles . Among his merits seems to have been that of brevity; for, as Suidas relates, he was "the first one to make his plays of the present length."
