ANAGYRIS, or ANAGYRUS, in Ancient Geography, the name of a place in Attica, of the tribe Erechtheis, where a fetid plant, called Anagyris, probably the same with the foregoing, grew in great plenty, (Dioscorides, Pliny, Stephanus); and the more it was handled, the stronger it smelled; hence commovere anagyrin or (anagyrum), is to bring a misfortune on one's self, (Aristophanes).
