For others named Agasias, see the Agasias navigation page

Agasias, son of Menophilus was an Ancient Greek sculptor from Ephesus. He was possibly the cousin of Agasias, son of Dositheus, sculptor of the Borghese Gladiator.[1] He is mentioned in a Greek inscription, from which it appears that he exercised his art in Delos while that island was under Roman sway; probably some time about 100 BC.[2][3] He probably sculpted a striking figure of a warrior now in the National Archaeological Museum, Athens.[4]
