abstract:The Aegimius (, Aigimios) is a fragmentary Ancient Greek epic poem that was variously attributed to Hesiod or Cercops of Miletus during antiquity.. The "Aegimius" of the title was surely the son of Dorus, but the surviving fragments have nothing to do directly with this figure, and, despite his status as titular character, it cannot be inferred from the available evidence that the poem was primarily concerned with the Dorian king..
