Andy Stewart does a good overview of these and other sculptors in section

---->I want to know about Kephisodotos, sculptors in Athens. Ancient writers >described some Kephisodotos but I have a problem in their >identification. Plinius mentioned one of 102nd Olympiad in 34-50 and >another of 121st in 34-51, so these two were different. > >He also refered two Kephisodotos in his 34-87 as brothers of same name. >Was either of them same person as in 34-50 or 34-51? >It is said that Kephisodoros mentioned in 34-74 was Kephisodotos who >made a statue of Athena which also refered by Pausanias(1.1.3). Plinius >also described another in 34-24 as a son of Praxiteles. > >Pausanias wrote some works of Kephisodotos. He made statues of Zeus, >Megalopolis and Artemis with Xenophon(8.30.10), Peace hold >Pluto(9.16.2) and Muses (9.30.1). >Could you explain the relationship of these sculptor? > >Yoji Horikoshi >Greek art and archaeology >http://www.officenet.co.jp/~yoji
