of Athens, a statuary, of unknown time, mentioned only by Clemens Alexandrinus (Protrept. p. 18, Sylb.), who states, on the authority of Philochorus, that he made the statues of Poseidon and Amphitrite, nine cubits in height, which were worshipped in the island of Tenos. (Philoch. Fr. 185, ed. Müller, Frag. Hist. in Didot's Bibliotheca, vol. i. p. 414).
