The Phoronis is a lost ancient Greek epic poem. Tsagalis, 401 ff.; West, pp. 33–34, 282–285. It told the story of the local Tirynthian culture hero Phoroneus. The author is unknown. Various internal evidence suggest a date between the late seventh and sixth-century BC, although a fifth-century BC date is possible.
