A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

2. A sculptor, of uncertain time and country, whose Hercules and Hecate were greatly admired. The latter statue stood in the Opisthodomus (post aedem) of the temple of Artemis at Ephesus, and was made, says Pliny, of marble of such brilliancy that it was necessary to warn the beholders to shade their eyes. (Plin. Nat. 36.5. s. 4.10.) From this passage of Pliny, Sillig conjectures that the artist lived about the time of Alexander the Great. Tatian mentions him as the maker of a statue of a poetess named Learchis. (Adv. Graec. 52, p. 113, Worth.)
