Demosthenes, Against Neaera, section 35 (search)
Since, then,
she was treated with wanton outrage by Phrynion, and was not loved as she
expected to be, and since her wishes were not granted by him, she packed up his
household goods and all the clothing and jewelry with which he had adorned her
person, and, taking with her two maid-servants, Thratta and
Coccalinêe, ran off to Megara. This was the period when Asteius was
archon at Athens,That is, in 372 B.C.; Alcisthenes was archon the year following. at
the time you were waging your second war against the Lacedaemonians.
Isocrates, Panegyricus (ed. George Norlin), section 109 (search)
on the contrary, we alone of those who have obtained great power suffered ourselves to live in more straitened circumstances than those who were reproached with being our slaves.Probably a taunt flung at the Euboeans and all who were under the protection and influence of Athens. And yet, had we been disposed to seek our own advantage, we should not, I imagine, have set our hearts on the territory of Scione (which, as all the world knows, we gave over to our Plataean refugees),When their city was destroyed in the Peloponnesian War, 427 B.C., the Plataeans took refuge in Athens and were later settled in Scione. At the close of the war they were forced to leave Scione and again found refuge in Athens. By the Peace of Antalcidas they were restored to their own territory only to be driven from their homes by the Thebans in 372 B.C. Once more Athens became their refuge. See Isoc. 14.13 ff. and passed over this great territory which would have enriched us a

Bryaxis
(*Bru/acis), an Athenian statuary in stone and metal, cast a bronze statue of Seleucus. king of Syria (Plin. Nat. 34.8. s. 19), and, together with Scopas, Timotheus, and Leochares, adorned the Mausoleum with bas-reliefs. (Plin. Nat. 36.5. s. 4.)
He must have lived accordingly B. C. 372-312. (Sillig. Catal. Art. s. v.) Besides the two works above mentioned, Bryaxis executed five colossal statues at Rhodes (Plin. Nat. 34.7. s. 18), an Asclepios (H. N. 34.8. s. 19), a Liber, father of Cnidus (H. N. 36.5), and a statue of Pasiphae. (Tatian. ad Graec. 54.) If we believe Clemens Alexandrinus (Protr. p. 30c.), Bryaxis attained so high a degree of perfection, that two statues of his were ascribed by some to Phidias. [W.I
Cephiso'dotus
1. A celebrated Athenian sculptor, whose sister was the first wife of Phocion. (Plut. Phoc. 19.)
He is assigned by Pliny (34.8. s. 19.1) to the 102nd Olympiad (B. C. 372), an epoch chosen probably by his authorities because the general peace recommended by the Persian king was then adopted by all the Greek states except Thebes, which began to aspire to the first station in Greece. (Heyne, Antiq. Aufs. i. p. 208.) Cephisodotus belonged to that younger school of Attic artists, who had abandoned the stern and majestic beauty of Phidias and adopted a more animated and graceful style.
It is difficult to distinguish him from a younger Cephisodotus, whom Sillig (p. 144), without the slightest reason, considers to have been more celebrated.
But some works are expressly ascribed to the elder, others are probably his, and all prove him to have been a worthy contemporary of Praxiteles. Most of his works which are known to us were occasioned by public events, or at least dedicated
Da'mophon
(damofw=n), a sculptor of Messene, was the only Messenian artist of any note. (Paus. 4.31.8.) His time is doubtful. Heyne and Winckelmann place him a little later than Phidias; Quatremère de Quincy from B. C. 340 to B. C. 300. Sillig (Catal. Art. s. v. Demophon) argues, from the fact that he adorned Messene and Megalopolis with his chief works, that he lived about the time when Messene was restored and Megalopolis was built. (B. C. 372-370.) Pausanias mentions the following works of Damophon: At Aegius in Achaia, a statue of Lucina, of wood, except the face, hands, and toes, which were of Pentelic marble, and were, no doubt, the only parts uncovered: also, statues of Hygeia and Asclepius in the shrine of Eileithyia and Asclepius, bearing the artist's name in an iambic line on the base: at Messene, a statue of the Mother of the Gods, in Parian marble, one of Artemis Laphria, and several marble statues in the temple of Asclepius: at Megalopolis, wooden statues of Hermes and A
Hypatodo'rus
(*(Upato/dwros), a statuary of Thebes (Böekh, Corp. Inscript. No. 25), who flourished, with Polycles I., Cephisodotus I., and Leochares, in the 102d Olympiad, B. C. 372. (Plin. Nat. 34.8. s. 19.)
He made, with Aristogeiton, the statues of the Argive chieftains who fought with Polyneices against Thebes. (Paus. 10.10.2; comp. ARISTOGEITON.) He also made the great statue of Athena at Aliphera in Arcadia (Paus. 8.26.4), which is also mentioned by Polybius (4.78.5), who calls it the work of Hecatodorus and Sostratus, and describes it as tw=n megalomepesta/twn kai\ texnikwta/twn e)/pgwn. onyx has been found at Aliphera engraved with an Athena, which Müller thinks may have been taken after this statue. (Archäol. d. Kunst, § 370, n. 4.)
Leo'chares
(*Lewxa/rhs).
1. An Athenian statuary and sculptor, was one of the great artists of the later Athenian school, at the head of which were Scopas and Praxiteles.
He is placed by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 34.8. s. 19) with Polycles I., Cephisodotus I., and Hypatodorus, at the 102d Olympiad (B. C. 372). We have several other indications of his time. From the end of the 106th Olympiad (B. C. 352) and onwards he was employed upon the tomb of Mausolus (Plin. Nat. 36.5. s. 4.9; Vitruv. vii. Praef. § 13: SATYRUS); and he was one of the artists employed by Philip to celebrate his victory at Chaeroneia, Ol. 110, 3, B. C. 338.
The statement, that he made a statue of Autolycus, who conquered in the boys' pancration at the Panathenaea in Ol. 89 or 90, and whose victory was the occasion of the Symposion of Xenophon (Plin. Nat. 34.8. s. 19.17; comp. Schneider, Quaest. de Conviv. Xenoph.), seems at first sight to be inconsistent with the other dates; but the obvious explanation is, that the stat
