A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Praxi'teles (search)
rous works in the Cerameicus at Athens, but there is an inscription still extant, in which he is expressly called an Athenian. (Böckh, Corp. Inscr.No. 1604). With respect to his date, he is mentioned by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 34.8. s. 19) as contemporary with Euphranor at the 104th Olympiad, B. C. 364. Pausanias (8.9.1) places him in the third generation after Alcamenes, the disciple of Pheidias ; which agrees very well with the date of Pliny, since Alcamenes flourished between Ol. 83 and 94, B. C. 448-404. Vitruvius (vii. Praef. § 13) states that he was one of the artists who adorned the Mausoleum of Artemisia; and, if so, he must have lived at least as late as Ol. 107, B. C. 350. If we were to accept as genuine the will of Theophrastus, in which he requests Praxiteles to finish a statue of Nicomachus (D. L. 5.14), we must extend the time of Praxiteles to about the year B. C. 287, in which Theophrastus died; but it is not safe to rest much upon such documents, occurring in the work of D
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Pto'lichus (search)
Pto'lichus *Pto/lixos, (statuaries. 1. Of Aegina, the son and pupil of Synnoon, flourished from about Ol. 75 to about Ol. 82, B. C. 480-448. [ARISTOCLES]. The only works of his, which are mentioned, are the statues of two Olympic victors, Theognetus of Aegina, and Epicradius of Mantineia (Paus. 6.9.1, 10.2).
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Pto'lichus (search)
Pto'lichus 2. Of Corcyra, the pupil of Critios of Athens (Paus. 6.3.2. s. 5). Pausanias does not mention any work of his, but merely gives his name as one of the following artistic genealogy of teachers and pupils: Critios of Athens, Ptolichus, Amphion, Pison of Calauria, Damocritus of Sicyon. As Critios flourished chiefly about Ol. 75, B. C. 477, we may place Ptolichus about Ol. 83, B. C. 448. He was therefore a contemporary of Pheidias. [P.S]
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Scymnus (search)
Scymnus artists. 1. A statuary and silver-chaser, of high celebrity, but none of whose works were known in Pliny's time. He was the pupil of Critios, and must therefore have flourished about Ol. 83, B. C. 448. (Plin. H.N. 34.8. s. 19.25.)
