been forcibly carried off by Xero, 16 and brought to Rome, 

 and arranged by him in the receptiou-roorns of his Golden 

 Palace. 17 



In addition to these, there are several other artists, of about 

 equal celebrity, but none of whom have produced any first-rate 

 works ; Ariston, 1 " who was principally employed in chasing 

 silver, Callides, Ctcsias, Cantharus of Sicyon, 19 Diodonis, a 

 pupil of Critias, Deliades,Euphorion, Eunicus,- and llecatieus, 21 

 all of them chasers in silver ; Lesbocles, also, Prodorus, Py- 

 thodicus, and Polygnotus," one of the most celebrated painters ; 

 also two other chasers in silver, Stratonicus, 1 ' 3 and Scyinnus, a 

 pupil of Critias. 



I shall now enumerate those artists who have executed 

 works of the same class : Apollodorus, 2 * for example, Antro- 

 bulus, Asclepiodorus, and Aleuas, who have executed statues 

 of philosophers. Apellas 38 has left us some figures of females 

 in the act of adoration ; Antignoius, a Perixyomenos, 26 and 

 figures of the Tyrannicides, already mentioned. Antimachus 

 and Athenodorus made some statues of females of noble birth ; 

 Aristodemus" 7 executed figures of wrestlers, two-horse chariots 

 with the charioteers, philosophers, aged women, and a statue 

 of King Seleucus :** his Doryphoros,'* 9 too, possesses his cha- 

 racteristic gracefulness.

23 Probably the same artist that has been mentioned in the preceding 

 pa#e. 



** The artist already mentioned as having been represented by Silanion. 



25 Pausanias, B. iii., speaks of his statue of Cynisca, a female who wa3 

 victor at the Olympic games. Indeed, the victors at these games were fre- 

 quently represented in a posture resembling-that of adoration. 



- >6 A man "scraping himself," probably. See Note 19, page 175. The 

 "Tyrannicides" were Ilarmodius and Anstogiton. 



27 Tatian mentions an artist of this name. 



2 * Sillier thinks that this was Seleucus, king of Babylon, B.C. 312.

30 Pausanias, B. viii., gives an account of a statue of Diana, made of 

 Pcntelican marble, by this Cephisodotus, a native of Athens ; he is sup-
