Ananius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ananius (Greek: Ἀνάνιος) was a Greek iambic poet, contemporary with Hipponax (about 540 BCE). The invention of the satyric iambic verse called Scazon is ascribed to him as well as to Hipponax.[1] Some fragments of Ananius are preserved by Athenaeus,[2] and all that is known of him was collected by Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker in the 19th century.[3]
