Agias or
Hagias was an
ancient Greek poet, whose name was formerly written
Augias through a mistake of the first editor of the
Excerpta of Proclus. This misreading was corrected by
Friedrich Thiersch, from the
Codex Monacensis, which in one passage has "Agias", and in another "Hagias". The name itself does not occur in early Greek writers, unless it be supposed that the "Egias" or "Hegias" in
Clement of Alexandria and
Pausanias, are only different forms of the same name.
