Abas (Sophist)
From Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium
Abas (Greek Άβας) was a Greek sophist and rhetorician about whose life we know nothing.[1] The Suda mentions two works of his, the Historical Commentaries and the Art of Rhetoric.[2] Photius quotes him, probably from the Historical Commentaries, as saying that the name of the wife of Candaulus in Greek mythology was not Nysai but Abro.[3]
Another Abas wrote the Troica, a fragment of which is preserved by Servius.[4]
