Cephisodotus the Elder
Cephisodotus or Kephisodotos (flourished about 400 BC - c. 360 BC), father of Praxiteles and grandfather of Cephisodotus the Younger.
A noted work of his was Eirene (Peace) bearing the infant Ploutos (Wealth) of which a Roman copy exists at the Glyptothek, Munich (illustration, right). .
Cephisodotus also made, like his son, a figure of Hermes carrying the child Dionysus, unless indeed ancient critics have made two works of one. He made certain statues for the city of Megalopolis, founded around 370 BC.
