Abas (Sophist)

Abas (Greek Άβας) was a Greek sophist and rhetorician about whose life we know nothing. The Suda mentions two works of his, the Historical Commentaries and the Art of Rhetoric. Photius quotes him, probably from the Historical Commentaries, as saying that the name of the wife of Candaulus in Greek mythology was not Nysai but Abro.

Another Abas wrote the Troica, a fragment of which is preserved by Servius.
