Hyagnis ( Ancient Greek: Ὑάγνις or Ἄγνις) was a mythical musician from Phrygia who was considered to be the inventor of the aulos. [1] Hyagnis was also one of the three mythical Phrygian musicians (along with Marsyas and Olympus) to whom the Ancient Greeks attributed the invention of the Phrygian mode in music. [2] He was called the "divine" father of Marsyas [3] probably by Olympus [4] or Oeagrus. [5]
