Argius ( Ancient Greek: Ἄργιος or Ἀργεῖος) was a sculptor of ancient Greece who was the disciple of Polykleitos, and therefore flourished about 388 BCE. ^[1]

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." ^[2] But "Argius" is found as a Greek proper name in both the forms, Ἄργιος and Ἀργεῖος. ^{[3] [4]}
