Шаблон:Short description Agis (Шаблон:IPAc-en; Greek: Шаблон:Lang, gen.: Шаблон:Lang) was an Ancient Greek poet from Argos, and a contemporary of Alexander the Great, whom he accompanied on his Asiatic expedition.[1] Quintus Curtius Rufus[2] as well as Arrian[3] and Plutarch[4] describe him as a sycophant, one of the basest flatterers of the king. Curtius calls him "the composer of the worst poems after Choerilus" ("Шаблон:Lang"), which probably refers rather to their obsequious, flattering character than to their worth as poetry. The Greek Anthology contains an epigram which is probably the work of this flatterer.[5][6][7]

Athenaeus mentions an Agis as the author of a work on the art of cooking (Шаблон:Lang).[8]
