Agnon
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Agnon was an ancient Greek rhetorician,[1] who wrote a work against rhetoric, which Quintilian calls "Rhetorices accusatio."[2] Some modern scholars have considered this Agnon to be the same man as the demagogue Agnonides,[3] the contemporary of Phocion, as the latter is in some manuscripts of Cornelius Nepos called Agnon.[4] But the manner in which Agnon is mentioned by Quintilian shows that he is a rhetorician, who lived at a much later period than the 4th century BC suggested by an identification with Agnonides. Whether however he is the same as the academic philosopher mentioned by Athenaeus is still a matter of some debate.[5]
