flourished 0441; 530510 BC
Greek sculptor active in Athens.
In antiquity he was famous for his bronze group of the Tyrannicides ( 0441; 510 BC) made for the Athenian agora ; the statues no longer exist. There were elements of motion and accurate anatomical detail in the work that mark the transition between the Archaic and Classical eras. A large marble kore ( 0441; 520 BC) from the Acropolis, found in 1886, is also attributed to him and is considered one of the finest examples of late Archaic sculpture.
