Σπίνθαρος
(Σπίνθαρος). a Corinthian architect, who commenced the rebuilding of the great temple at Delphi, after its destruction by fire in Ol. 58. 1, B. C. 548. (Paus. 10.5.5.) The temple was not, however, finished till Ol. 75, B. C. 480; so that the architect could scarcely have lived to see the completion of the work.
