mentioned by Pliny 1 in the same sentence with Alcamenes, and are
all called rivals of Pheidias, which they can hardly have been,
though they may have been still alive during part of his life.
Pausanias, on the other hand, speaks of Hegcsias as contemporary
with Onatas and Ageladas.
HEGIAS (HEGESIAS), 01. 75-83 (480-448 B.C.), is said to have
been a teacher of Pheidias, probably the first.2 Among his works
Pliny3 mentions : a group of the Dioscuri, which was subsequently
carried to Rome and set up before the Temple of Jupiter Tonans;
another group called Pueri celetizontes (boys on race-horses), of which
some writers think that we have a copy in a relief in the British
Museum ; and a statue of Heracles in Parion on the Propontis.
CRITIOS and NESIOTES arc mentioned in an inscription,4
found near the Acropolis at Athens, as the sculptors of a figure of a
runner in full armour (oirXLToSpo/j-os), called EpicJiarinus, which Pau-
sanias 5 also mentions as the work of Critios alone. But their chief work
was a group of Hannodius and Aristogeitonf a copy of which was re-
cognised by the lamented Friederichs,7 in two statues, now at Naples.
These had been falsely restored as gladiators, and placed opposite
to each other, instead of side by side.
Pausanias8 speaks of a school of Critios, and says that Damocritus
of Sicyon was of the fifth generation from the founder, viz. Ptoliclius
(01. 75), pupil of Critios; Amphion (01. 82) of Ptoliclius ; Pison
(01. 89) of Amphion ; and Damocritus of Pison. Pliny0 also mentions
the names of Diodorus (Diodotus ?) and Scymnus in connexion with
this school.
Pausanias and others record the existence of old Attic statues in
bronze of this period, without giving the names of the sculptors.
