Augeas (poet)

Augeas or Augias ( or ) was an Athenian poet of the middle comedy who lived around the 4th or 5th century BCE. We know of him only from a single mention in the 10th century Byzantine encyclopedia known as the Suda, which describes the following plays of his: Agroikos (Ἄγροικος), Dis (Δίς), Kateroumenous (Κατηρούμενος), and Porphyra (Πορφύρα).

He appears likewise to have written epic poems, and to have borrowed from Antimachus of Teos.Johann Albert Fabricius, Bibliotheca Graeca ii. p. 425
