Agresphon
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Script error: No such module "Check for clobbered parameters".Template:Wikidata image Agresphon (Template:Langx), or possibly Agreophon, was an ancient Greek grammarian mentioned in the Suda.[1] He wrote a work on persons with homonymous names, sometimes called in English On Namesakes (Script error: No such module "Lang".).
Agresphon cannot have lived earlier than the reign of Hadrian, as in his work he spoke of an Apollonius who lived in the time of that emperor.[2] Scholars generally date him to the late 3rd or early 4th century.[3]
Agresphon's book on homonymous people was thought to have been similar to, or perhaps dependent upon, a work by Demetrius of Magnesia, which bears the same title, and was written around the 1st century BC.[3] There is some debate as to whether his name was properly "Agresphon" or "Agreophon".[3]
Another, unrelated Agreophon who was father of Zenon around the 3rd century BC is mentioned frequently in the papyri of the Zenon Archive.
