earlier of them made a figure of Mercury nursing Father Liber 31

 Cephisodotus executed statues of philosophers. Colotcs/- who 

 assisted Phidias in the Olympian Jupiter, also executed statues 

 of philosophers; the same, too, with Cleon, 3 ' 1 Cenchramis, 

 Calliclcs, 14 and Cepis. Chalcosthenes made statues of come- 

 dians and athletes. Duippua 3 * executed a lYrixyomenus/"' 

 Daiphron, Demoeritus, 37 and Daemon made statues of pliilo- 

 sophers. 



Epigonus, who has attempted nearly all the above-named 

 classes of works, has distinguished himself mure particularly 

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

 dered mother. The Woman in Admiration, of J'jibulus, is 

 highly praised ; and so is the Man, by Eubulides, 3 * reckoning 

 on his Fingers. Micoir is admired for his athletes; Meno- 

 genes, for his four-horse chariots. Niceratus, 40 too, who 

 attempted every kind of work that had been executed by any 

 other artist, made statues of Alcibiades and of his mother 

 Deinarate, 41 who is represented sacrificing by the light of 

 torches.
