Epi'gonus

a Greek statuary, whose works were chiefly in imitation of other artists, but who displayed original power in two works, namely, a trumpeter, and an infant caressing its slain mother. It is natural to suppose that the latter work was an imitation of the celebrated picture of Aristeides. (Plin. Nat. 24.8. s. 19.29.)
