DAMOPHON

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 790 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DAMOPHON , a
Greek
  sculptor of
Messene
 , who executed many statues for the
people
  of
Messene
 , Megalopolis, Aegium and other cities of
Peloponnesus
 . Considerable fragments, including three colossal heads from a
group
  by him representing Demeter, Persephone, Artemis and the giant Anytus, have been discovered on the site of Lycosura in
Arcadia
 , where was a temple of the goddess called " The Mistress." They are preserved in
part
  in the museum at Athens and partly on the spot. Hence there has arisen a
great
  controversy as to the date of the artist, who has been assigned to various periods, from the 4th
century
  B.C. to the 2nd A.U. A good
account
  of the whole matter will be found in Frazer's Pausanias, iv. 372-379. Frazer wisely in-clines to an early date; it is in fact difficult to find any period, when the cities mentioned were in a position to found temples, later than the time of Alexander.
