Cephisodotus

Cephisodotus (sĕfĭsŏ'dətəs), Gr. Kephisodotos, fl. 4th cent. B.C., two Greek sculptors. The elder, the master and probably the father or the brother of Praxiteles, is noted for the statue Irene and Plutus [Peace and Wealth]. The original was erected on the Areopagus at Athens c.372 B.C. to celebrate the victory of Timotheus over the Spartans. The best copy is in Munich. Cephisodotus, the Younger, a son of Praxiteles, continued the Praxitelean tradition into the early 3d cent. B.C.
