BATHYCLES , an Ionian sculptor of See also:

Magnesia, was commissioned by the Spartans to make a See also:marble See also:throne for the statue of See also:Apollo at Amyclae, about 550 B.C. See also:Pausanias (iii. 18) gives us a detailed description of this See also:monument, which is of the greatest value to us, showing the See also:character of Ionic See also:art at the See also:time. It was adorned with scenes from See also:mythology in See also:relief and supporting figures in the See also:round. For a reconstruction, see See also:Furtwangler, Meisterwerke der griech. Plastik, p. 706.
