Cleon

1. A sculptor of Sicyon, a pupil of Antiphanes, who had been taught by Pericletus, a follower of the great Polycletus of Argos. (Paus. 5.17.1.) Cleon's age is determined by two bronze statues of Zeus at Olympia executed after Ol. 98, and another of Deinolochus, after Ol. 102. (Paus. 6.1.2.) He excelled in portrait-statues (Philosophos, Plin. Nat. 34.19, is to be taken as a general term), of which several athletic ones are mentioned by Pausanias. (6.3.4, 8.3, 9.1, 10, fin.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
