Ange-François Fariau

Ange-François Fariau (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ʒ fʁɑ̃swa faʁjo]; 13 October 1747 – 8 December 1810) was a French poet and translator.

Fariau was born in Blois, the son of an advisor to the king.

A protégé of Turgot, he went on to be a teacher in the Parisian school of rue Saint-Antoine, teaching grammar and later belles-lettres.

Fariau also penned his own odes and poems.

In 1810 he was elected to l'Académie française, but died in Paris three months later after a fall.
