Demagoras
Δημαγόρας
(Δημαγόρας), of Sammos, is mentioned by Dionysius of Halicarnassus (A. R. 1.72), together with Agathyllus, as a writer who agreed with Cephalon respecting the date of the foundation of Rome. But whether Dema(goras was a poet like Agathyllus or not is uncertain. He is often mentioned by the grammarians.
