CRITIUS

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 470 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CRE-DAH
CRITIUS and NESIOTES, two
Greek
  sculptors of uncertain school, of the time of the Persian Wars. When
Xerxes
  carried away to Persia the statues of
Harmodius
  and Aristogiton made by Antenor, Critius and Nesiotes were commissioned to replace them. By the help of coins and reliefs, two statues at Naples, wrongly restored as
gladiators
 , have been identified as copies of the tyrannicides of Critius; and to them well apply the words in which
Lucian
  (Rhetor. praecepta, 9) describes the works of Critius and Nesiotes, " closely knit and sinewy, and hard and severe in outline." Critius also made a statue of the armed runner Epicharinus.
