ONATAS

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 105 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
ONATAS , a
Greek
  sculptor of the time of the Persian wars, a member of the flourishing school of Aegina. Many of his works are mentioned by Pausanias; they included a
Hermes
  carrying the ram, and a strange image of the Black Demeter made for the
people
  of Phigalia; also some elaborate groups in bronze set up at Olympia and Delphi. For
Hiero
  I., king of Syracuse, Onatas executed a votive chariot in bronze dedicated at Olympia. If we compare the descriptions of the works of Onatas given us by Pausanias with the well-known pediments of Aegina at
Munich
  we shall find so
close
  an agreement that we may safely take the pedimental figures as an index of the
style
  of Onatas. They are manly, vigorous, athletic, showing
great
  knowledge of the human form, but somewhat stiff and
automaton
 -like.
