An almost innumerable multitude of artists have been rendered famous by their statues and figures of smaller size. Before all others is Phidias,[1344] the Athenian, who executed the Jupiter at Olympia, in ivory and gold,[1345] but who also made figures in brass as well. He flourished in the eighty-third Olympiad, about the year of our City, 300. To the same age belong also his rivals Alcamenes,[1346] Critias,[1347] Nesiotes,[1348] and Hegias.[1349] Afterwards, in the eighty-seventh Olympiad, there were Agelades,[1350] Callon,[1351] and Gorgias the Laconian. In the ninetieth Olympiad there were Polycletus,[1352] Phradmon,[1353] Myron,[1354] Pythagoras,[1355] Scopas,[1356] and Perellus.[1357] Of these, Polycletus had for pupils, Argius,[1358] Asopodorus, Alexis, Aristides,[1359] Phrynon, Dinon, Athenodorus,[1360] and Demeas[1361] the Clitorian: Lycius,[1362] too, was the pupil of Myron. In the ninety-fifth Olympiad flourished Naucsydes,[1363] Dinomenes,[1364] Canachus,[1365] and Patroclus.[1366] In the hundred and second Olympiad there were Polycles,[1367] Cephisodotus,[1368] Leochares,[1369] and Hypatodorus.[1370] In the hundred and fourth Olympiad, flourished Praxiteles[1371] and Euphranor;[1372] in the hundred and seventh, Aëtion[1373] and Therimachus;[1374] in the hundred and thirteenth, Lysippus,[1375] who was the contemporary of Alexander the Great, his brother Lysistratus,[1376] Sthennis,[1377] Euphron, Eucles, Sostratus,[1378] Ion, and Silanion,[1379] who was remarkable for having acquired great celebrity without any instructor: Zeuxis[1380] was his pupil. In the hundred and twenty-first Olympiad were Eutychides,[1381] Euthycrates,[1382] Laïppus,[1383] Cephisodotus,[1384] Timarchus,[1385] and Pyromachus.[1386] The practice of this art then ceased for some time, but revived in the hundred and fifty-sixth Olympiad, when there were some artists, who, though far inferior to those already mentioned, were still highly esteemed; Antæus, Callistratus,[1387] Polycles,[1388] Athenæus,[1389] Callixenus, Pythocles, Pythias, and Timocles.[1390] The ages of the most celebrated artists being thus distinguished, I shall cursorily review the more eminent of them, the greater part being mentioned in a desultory manner. The most celebrated of these artists, though born at different epochs, have joined in a trial of skill in the Amazons which they have respectively made. When these statues were dedicated in the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, it was agreed, in order to ascertain which was the best, that it should be left to the judgment of the artists themselves who were then present: upon which, it was evident that that was the best, which all the artists agreed in considering as the next best to his own. Accordingly, the first rank was assigned to Polycletus, the second to Phidias, the third to Cresilas, the fourth to Cydon, and the fifth to Phradmon.[1391]
