Aglaus

Ancient Greek citizen From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aglaus (Ancient Greek: Ἀγλαός) was a semi-mythological poor citizen of Psophis in Arcadia.[1] When King Gyges, king of Lydia asked the Delphic oracle whether any man was happier than he was,[2][3] the oracle pronounced Aglaus to be happier on account of his contentedness. Pausanias places Aglaus in the time of Croesus.[4]
