a celebrated Greek statuary, was born at Sicyone, and at first followed the business of a locksmith, which he quitted in order to practise painting: But he afterwards applied himself entirely to sculpture; in which he acquired an immortal reputation, and made a great number of statues that were the admiration of the people of Athens and Rome. His grand statue of the sun represented in a car drawn by four horses, was worshipped at Rhodes; he made several statues of Alexander and his favourites, which were brought to Rome by Metellus after he had reduced the Macedonian empire; and the statue of a man wiping and anointing himself after bathing, being particularly excellent, was placed by Agrippa before his baths in that city. He lived in the time of Alexander the Great, about 334 B.C.; and left three sons, who were all famous statuaries.
