(), a sculptor, who made, in bronze, statues of
worshipping females (ad orantes feminas,Plin. Nat. 34.19.26). He made the statue of Cynisca, who
conquered in the chariotrace at Olympia. (Paus. 6.1.2.) Cynisca
was sister to Agesilaus, king of Sparta, who died at the age of 84, in 362 B. C. Therefore the
victory of Cynisca, and the time when Apellas flourished, may be placed about 400 B. C. His
name indicates his Doric origin. (Tölken, Amalthea, iii. p. 128.)
