Argius

{{Short description|Ancient Greek sculptor}}

{{Distinguish|text = Agrius in Greek mythology}}

Argius ({{langx|grc|Ἄργιος or Ἀργεῖος}}) was a sculptor of ancient Greece who was the disciple of Polykleitos, and therefore flourished about 388 BCE.Pliny the Elder, Natural History 34.19

The 19th century classical scholar Friedrich Thiersch supposed that Pliny the Elder, in the words "Argius, Asopodorus," mis-translated his Greek authority, which had Ἀργεῖος Ἀσωπόδωρος, or "Asopodorus the Argive."Friedrich Thiersch, Epochen, p. 275 But "Argius" is found as a Greek proper name in both the forms, Ἄργιος and Ἀργεῖος.Apollonius of Rhodes, Argonautica 2.1.5Aristoph. Eccl. 201
