Agroetas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agroetas (Ancient Greek: Ἀγροίτας) was an ancient Greek historian who wrote a work on Scythia (Σκυθικά),[1] from the thirteenth book of which the scholiast on Apollonius of Rhodes quotes,[2] and one on Libya (Λιβυκά), the fourth book of which is quoted by the same scholiast.[3] He is also mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium.[4] He is one of the authors (= FGrHist 762) whose fragments were collected in Felix Jacoby's Die Fragmente der griechischen Historiker.
Agroetas is also the name of a Roman rhetorician mentioned by the elder Seneca, but about whom nothing more is known.[5]
