Argius
a sculptor, was the disciple of Polycletus, and therefore flourished about 388 B. C. (
Plin. Nat. 34.19.) Thiersch (
Epochen, p. 275) supposes that Pliny, in the words "
Argius, Asopodorus," mis-translated his Greek authority, which had
Ἀργεῖος Ἀσωπόδωρος, " Asopodorus the Argive." But Argius is found as a Greek proper name in both the forms,
Ἄργιος and
Ἀργεῖος. (
Apollod. 2.1.5;
Aristoph. Eccl. 201.)
