( fl end of 5th century BC–c. 360 BC). Greek sculptor. His primary importance is as the teacher and father (or, according to some scholars, possibly the father-in-law or brother) of PRAXITELES. His career can be dated by his collaboration with STRONGYLION on a group of nine Muses on Mt Helikon (late 5th century BC), his statues in Megalopolis (founded 368/367 BC) and his Eirene and Ploutos (c. 375–360 BC; copy in Munich, Glyp.; see GREECE, ANCIENT, fig. 39). The draped figure of Eirene (Peace) recalls a type of peplos-wearing female statue of the later 5th century BC associated with Alkamenes and his workshop. Eirene holds the infant Ploutos (Wealth) in her left arm, with her head and upper body turned towards its upturned face. The original statue must have been created before 360/359 BC, since it is represented on Panathenaic amphorae of that date (see also Pausanias: Guide to Greece IX.xvi.2).
