AGESANDER , a Rhodian sculptor, whose See also:

title to fame is that he is mentioned by See also:Pliny (Nat. Hist. See also:xxxvi. 37) as author (with Polydorus and See also:Athenodorus) of the See also:group of the See also:Laocoon. See also:Inscriptions recently found at Lindus in See also:Rhodes date Agesander and Athenodorus to the See also:period 42-21 B.C. The date of the Laocoon seems thus finally settled, after See also:long controversy. It represents the See also:culmination of a sentimental or pathetic tendency in See also:art, which is prominent in the somewhat earlier See also:sculpture of See also:Pergamum.
