CEPHISODOTUS

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 702 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CEPHISODOTUS , the name of the father and of the son of
Praxiteles
 , both sculptors like himself. The former must have flourished about 400 B.C. A noted
work
  of his was Peace bearing the infant Wealth, of which a copy exists at
Munich
 . Peace is a Madonna-like figure of a somewhat conservative type; the child Wealth is less successful. Cephisodotus also made, like his son, a figure of
Hermes
  carrying the child Dionysus, unless indeed
ancient
  critics have made two works of one. He made certain statues for the
city
  of
Megalopolis
 , founded in 370 B.C. Of the
work
  of the younger Cephisodotus, his grandson, we have no remains; he was a prolific sculptor of the latter
part
  of the 4th
century
  B.C., especially noted for portraits, of Menander, of the orator Lycurgus, and others (see J. Overbeck, Antike Schriftquellen, p. 255).
