Theages

(Θεάγης).

1. A Pythagorean philosopher, the author of a work on virtue (Περὶ ἀρετῆς), from which Stobaeus (Serm. 1.67-69) has preserved some extracts. Fabricius (vol. i. p. 876) identifies him with the Theages mentioned by Iamblichus (Pyth. Vit. 257). There is no evidence to decide the question.

2. The son of Demodocus, is introduced by Plato in the dialogue Theages which takes its name from him. [C.P.M]
