  • Afthonios (ca 350–400 e. Kr. ), retoriklärare i Antiochia i Syrien. Skrev den mest spridda versionen av progymnasmata, en serie övningar för att bli en bättre talare. Var elev till den store grekiske retorikläraren Libanios (314 - 393 e. Kr. ) som öppnade en retorikskola i Antiochia 354 e. Kr.. När Afthonios var elev där och när han skrev sin progymnasmata vet man ej. Förutom progymnasmata finns det endast en samling med 40 fabler bevarade av Afthonios.
