Agallis (Шаблон:Lang-grc; called Anagallis Шаблон:Lang-grc by the Suda) of Corcyra was a female grammarian who wrote about Homer. She, or her father, was a student of Aristophanes of Byzantium.[1][2]

According to Athenaeus, she argued that ball games were invented by Nausicaa.[1] Two scholiasts on the Iliad quote an argument that the two cities that Homer describes on the Shield of Achilles represented Athens and Eleusis; one attributes this to "Agallias of Corcyra", the other to "Dalis of Corcyra". Some scholars believe that Agallias was Agallis' father; others that it is an error and Agallis was the source of this argument.[3]

Agallis is sometimes incorrectly described as a philosopher. This derives from the misconception that Ptolemy's Life of Aristotle was dedicated to her; it is now known to have been dedicated to a man named Gallus.[1]
