Alkamenes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alkamenes (2nd half 5th century BCE) was a Greek sculptor, said to have been a pupil of Pheidias, the most eminent in Athens after the departure of Pheidias for Olympia, but enigmatic in that none of the sculptures associated with his name in classical literature can be securely connected with existing copies.

Whether he was born in Athens or in the Athenian colony on Lemnos, his career was largely in Athens.
