ARCHERMUS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 362 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARCHERMUS , a Chian sculptor of the
middle
  of the 6th
century
  B.C. His father Micciades, and his sons, Bupalus and Athenis, were all sculptors of
marble
 , using doubtless the fine
marble
  of their native
land
 . The school excelled in draped
female
  figures. Archermus is said by a scholiast (on Aristophanes' Birds, v. 573) to have been the first to represent Victory and Love with wings. This statement gives especial
interest
  to a discovery made at Delos of a basis signed by Micciades and Archermus which was connected with a winged
female
  figure in rapid motion (see
GREEK
  ART), a figure naturally at first regarded as the Victory of Archermus. Unfortunately further investigation has discredited the notion that the statue belongs to the basis, which seems rather to have supported a
sphinx
 .
