preceded by only a quarter of a century.1 Callon was a pupil of
Tectasus and Angelion, the early workers in bronze, who again had
learned their art from the Cretan Da:dalids, Dipcenus and Scyllis.2 He
made one of the three Tripods at Amyclas, under which was an image
(djakfia) of Cora (Proserpine); also a xoanon of Athene for the
temple of that goddess on the Acropolis of Trcezen, where she was
worshipped under the name of Athene lOivias (the strong). Quintilian
speaks of his works, and says that they were rather stiff (duriora), and
like those of the Etruscans. We know absolutely nothing of the few
works referred to by ancient writers, and the mere name of Callon
would be of little importance to the history of art, were it not that he
is put forward by Quintilian as the representative of the hard,
rude, stiff style—which we may call yEginetan—in comparison with
Calami's.3

GLAUCIAS. The next name of any note in the school of /Egina
is that of Glaucias, 01. 73-75 (B.C. 433-480), who executed statues
in bronze—as offerings at Olympia—of Phi/on, the boxer of Cor-
cyra,4 Theagencs, the Thasian,"' and Glaucus, the Carystian, also a
boxer, whom he represented in the attitude of sparring (aKiafia^ovv-
tos).6 He also made a statue of Gelon, the tyrant of Syracuse, and
a copy of the chariot in which he conquered in the fourth year of the
73rd 01.

ANAXAGOKAS, Ul. 75 (B.C. 430), of the same school, was
employed by the Greeks, after the victory at Plata?a;, 01. 75. 2 (B.C.
479). to execute a colossal statue of Zeus, as an offering in Olympia,
for the cost of which a tithe of the booty was set apart.7

SIMON, 01. 77 (B.C. 472). On the south side of the Altis at
Olympia Pausanias8 saw statues of two horses and two grooms (or
charioteers ?), and says that one of the animals and one of the men
