Abron or Habron (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἅβρων) was the name of a number of people in classical Greek history:
1. A son of the Attic orator Lycurgus.[1]
2. The son of Callias, of the deme of Bate in Attica, who wrote on the festivals and sacrifices of the Greeks.[2] He also wrote a work, Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: περὶ παρωνύμων, which is frequently referred to by Stephanus of Byzantium (s.v. Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἀγάθη, Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἄργος, &c.) and other writers.
3. A Phrygian or Rhodian sophist and grammarian, pupil of Tryphon, and originally a slave (his parents were also slaves), who taught at Rome under the first Caesars. He was presumably the same Habron who was the author of the treatise On the Pronoun.[3]
4. A rich person at Argos, from whom the proverb Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἅβρωνος βίος ("The life of Abron"), which was applied to extravagant persons, is said to have been derived.[4]
