18G Pliny's NATUEAL HISTORY. [Book XXXIV. 



earlier of them made a figure of Mercury nursing Father Liber^^ 

 when an infant ; also of a man haranguing, Avith the hand 

 elevated, the original of which is now unknown. The younger 

 Cephisodotus executed statues of philosophers. Colotes,^- who 

 assisted Phidias in the Olympian tfupiter, also executed statues 

 of philosophers; the same, too, with Cleon,^^ Cenchramis, 

 Callicles,^* and Cepis. Chalcosthenes made statues of come- 

 dians and athletes. Da'ippus^^ executed a Perixyomenos.^ 

 Daiphron, Democritus,^' and Daemon made statues of philo- 

 sophers. 



Epigonus, who has attempted nearly all the above-named 

 classes of works, has distinguished himself more particularly 

 by his Trumpeter, and his Child in Tears, caressing its mur- 

 dered mother. The Woman in Admiration, of Eubulus, is 

 highly praised ; and so is the Man, by Eubulides,^^ reckoning 

 on his Eingers. Micon^^ is admired for his athletes ; Meno- 

 genes, . for his four-horse chariots. Niceratus,^^ too, who 

 attempted every kind of work that had been executed by any 

 other artist, made statues of Alcibiades and of his mother 

 Demarate/^ who is represented sacrificing by the light of 

 torches. 



of this Chapter, Pliny has enumerated a Cephisodotus among the artists 

 of the 120th Olympiad.— B. 3i Bacchus. 



22 The elder artist of this name. See B. xxxv. c. 34. 



33 A native of Sicyon ; Pausanias, B. v. cc. 17, 21, informs us that Cleon 

 made a statue of Venus and two statues of Jupiter; he also mentions others 

 of his works in B. vi,— B. 



31 A native of Megara. He made a 'statue of Diagoras the pugilist, 

 who was victor at the Olympic games, m.c. 464. He is mentioned also hy 

 Pausanias. 



35 Probably the same with the " Laippus" mentioned in the early part 

 of this Chapter. Sillig, Diet. Ancient Artists, considers "Daippus"to 

 be the right name. 



3« See Note 26 above. 



3'' A native of Sicyon, and pupil of Pison, according to Pausanias, B. vi. 

 c. 3. He flourished about the 100th Olympiad. 



38 Works of his at Athens are mentioned by Pausanias, B. i. c. 2, who 

 also states that he was father of Euchir, the Athenian. 



39 A statuary of Syracuse, son of Niceratus. He made two statues of 

 Hiero II., king of Syracuse, who died B.C. 215. He must not be con- 

 founded with the painter and statuary of the same name, mentioned in 

 B. xxxiii. c. 56, and B. xxxv. c. 35. He is mentioned also by Pausanias. 



*^ An Athenian, son of Euctemon. He is mentioned also by Tatian, and 

 is supposed by Sillig to have flourished about B.C. 420. 

 *^ Culled Dinomache by Plutarch.
