Anaxa'goras
(
*)Anacago/ras), of Aegina, a sculptor, flourished about B. C. 480, and executed the statue of Jupiter in bronze set up at Olympia by the states which had united in repelling the invasion of Xerxes. (
Paus. 5.23.2.)
He is supposed to be the same person as the sculptor mentioned in an epigram by Anacreon (
Anthol. Graec. i. p. 55, No. 6, Jacobs), but not the same as the writer on scene-painting mentioned by Vitruvius. [AGATHARCHUS.]
