Theages
Θεάγης
(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.
