This article is about the ancient Greek rhetorician; for the Hebrew nobel prize laureate writer, see Shmuel Yosef Agnon.
Agnon
was an ancient Greek Greek rhetorician, [1] who wrote a work against rhetoric, which Quintilian calls "Rhetorices accusatio
." [2] Some modern scholars have considered this Agnon to be the same man as the demagogue Agnonides, [3] the contemporary of Phocion, as the latter is in some manuscripts of Cornelius Nepos called Agnon. [4] But the manner in which Agnon is mentioned by Quintilian shows that he is a rhetorician, who lived at a much later period than the 4th century BC suggested by an identification with Agnonides. Whether however he is the same as the academic philosopher mentioned by Athenaeus is still a matter of some debate. [5]
