Thrasymedes
Thrasymedes /ˌθræsɪˈmiːdiz/ of Paros (Greek: Θρασυμήδης ο Παριανός) was an ancient Greek sculptor. Formerly he was regarded as a pupil of Phidias because he set up in the temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus a seated statue of that deity made of ivory and gold, which was evidently a copy of the Statue of Zeus at Olympia by Pheidias. An inscription found at Epidaurus yet proves that the temple and the statue belong to the 4th century.[1]
