Dionysius Thrax (Greek: Διονύσιος ὁ ΘρᾷξDionýsios ho Thrâix, 170–90 BC) was a Greek[1] grammarian and a pupil of Aristarchus of Samothrace. He was long considered to be the author of the earliest grammatical text on the Greek language, one that was used as a standard manual for perhaps some 1,500 years,[2] and which was until recently regarded as the groundwork of the entire Western grammatical tradition.[a]
