(), a sculptor, whose country is unknown,
made three of the statues of the Muses, which were set up on Mt. Helicon, and the other six of
which were made by Cephisodotus and Strongylion. (Paus. 9.30.1.)
It may safely be inferred that the three artists were contemporary; but, looking only at the
passage of Pautisanias, it is doubtful whether the elder or the younger Cephisodotius is
meant. It appears, however, from other evidence that Strongylion was a contemporary of
Praxiteles, and therefore of the elder Cephisodotus. [STRONGYLION.]
According to this, the date of Olympiosthenes would be about B. C.
370.
