Amphion
(
Ἀμφίων).
1. A sculptor, son of ACESTOR, pupil of Ptolichus of Corcyra, and teacher of Piso of Calaureia, was a native of Cnossus, and flourished about B. C. 428 or 424.
He executed a group in which Battus, the colonizer of Cyrene, was represented in a chariot, with Libya crowning him, and Cyrene as the charioteer.
This group was dedicated at Delphi by the people of Cyrene. (
Paus. 6.3.2,
10.15.4.)
