Pythodo'rus

（*Puqo/dwros), artists.

1. A Theban sculptor, of the archaic period, who made the statue of Hera (ἄγαλμα ἀρχαῖον) in her temple at Coroneia. The goddess was represented as holding the Sirens in her hand. (Paus. 9.34.2. s. 3; comp. Miller, Archäol. d. Kunst, § 352, n. 4.)

2, 3. Two sculptors, who flourished under the early Roman emperors, and are mentioned by Pliny among those who "filled the palace of the Caesars on the Palatine with most approved works." (Plin. Nat. 36.5. s. 4.11; comp. Thiersch, Epochen, pp. 300, 325, foll.)

[P.S]

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.
