Irenaeus (grammarian)

Irenaeus (Ancient Greek: Ειρηναίος, romanized: Eirenaios), also known as Minucius Pacatus, was a grammarian from Alexandria who lived in the first century.^[1] He was a student of Heliodorus the Metrician. He taught for some time in Rome and wrote many works, several of which are mentioned in the Suda. Unfortunately, his works have been lost, but from the fragments that are referenced, it appears that Irenaeus was "a zealot of the pure Attic style and a forerunner of Aelius Dionysius and Phrynichus."
