(Greek: Ἀθηναγόρας) an elusive character who is only commented on in Thucydides (6, 36–40). The context of his speech in Thucydides is 415 BC, during the Peloponnesian War, when Athens was about to invade Sicily (Magna Graecia). He denies the invasion, rudely retorting to Hermocrates' speech that no invasion was imminent.
