Accius was born at Pisaurum in Umbria, in 170 BC. Lucius Accius was the son of a freedman.
He was a prolific writer and enjoyed a very high reputation.
The titles and considerable fragments (about 700 lines) of some fifty plays have been preserved. Judging from the titles and fragments, scholars have surmised that most, if not all, of these poems were tragic in nature.
Accius wrote other works of a literary character: Libri Didascalicon, a treatise in verse on the history of Greek and Roman poetry, and dramatic art in particular; also Libri Pragmaticon, Parerga, and Praxidica, of which no fragments remain; and a hexameter Annales containing the history of Rome, like that of Ennius.
The year of his death is unknown, but he must have lived to a great age, since Cicero (born 106 BC, hence 64 years younger) speaks of having conversed with him on literary matters.

Accius was politically conservative, and generally noted for his dignity and reserve.
He was, by some accounts, a self-important man.
