It is difficult to talk about anachronism in this play because the whole setting of the play lacks any consistency whatsoever.
Theseus was the legendary founder of Athens, Greece, who did marry the Amazon Hippolyta at some time in the distant legendary past.
Oberon is a character from early medieval French and German romance. Shakespeare made up Titania. Puck is a character from English folklore.
The lovers plot could be set anywhere, but the rude mechanicals were clearly intended to be contemporary English working men. Their occupations (bellows-mender, joiner, tailor etc.) are Elizabethan.
Shakespeare mishmoshed all this together to make the play. It all takes place in the land of faraway and long ago. In this light, does it make sense to even talk about anachronisms?
