∙ 14y agoIf you mean sculptors in the myths themselves, then there's Hephaestus, who created Pandora, the first woman. There's also Pygmalion, who spurned love and created the statue of a woman. He fell in love with the statue, and Aphrodite (or Venus, as she's referred to in the myth) took pity on him and changed the statue into a woman.
If you mean sculptors who carve figurines from Greek mythology, a famous statue is Venus de Milo, said to be carved by Alexander of Antioch. Praxiteles is said to have carved Venus Braschi and The Marathon Youth. The Statue of Hermes is said to be carved by Pypsippos. But many statues are simply too old for someone to be able to tell who created it.

What is the difference between ancient Greek art and architecture and ancient Roman art and architecture?
Greek art is most noted for influencing our representation of the human figure. The Greeks analyzed the anatomy of their male "hero" figures, teaching us how to portray muscles, bones, natural stance and athletic poses both in sculpture and 2 demensional art. Though art has evolved much since the Greeks, each artist must learn the basics of representation before they can take their art in a more modern direction. Great artists such as Pablo Picasso perfected their realistic (Greek inspired) techniques before they diverted to their own style.
