PAEONIUS

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 447 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
PAEONIUS , of
Mende
  in Thrace, a
Greek
  sculptor of the latter
part
  of the 5th
century
 . The statement of Pausanias that he executed one of the pediments of the
temple
  of Zeus at
Olympia
  is rejected by critics. But we possess an important
work
  of Paeonius in the Victory found in the
German
  excavations at
Olympia
 , and set up, according to the most probable view, in memory of the
battle
  of Sphacteria (see
GREEK
  ART,fig. 36). It bears the inscription " Dedicated to Olympian Zeus by the Messenians and Naupactians as a tithe of the spoil of their enemies. Paeonius of
Mende
  made the statue, and was a successful competitor in the construction of the gable-figures for the
temple
 ." The gable figures last mentioned were doubt-less gilt victories of
bronze
  which stood on the gable, not in it. Pausanias seems to have misunderstood the phrase as implying that Paeonius made one of the pedimental groups.
