Lesbothemis

Λεσβόθεμις

(Λεσβόθεμις), was a statuary of an ancient date, and probably a native of Lesbos. He is the only artist who is mentioned in connection with that island. His statue of one of the Muses holding a lyre of the ancient form (σαμβύκη) at Mytilene, was mentioned by Euphorion in his περὶ Ἰσθμίων (Athen. 4.182e., xiv. p. 635a. b.; Meineke, Euphor. Fr. 31, Anal. Alex. p. 67, Fr. 32).
