ONATAS , a See also:

Greek sculptor of the See also:time of the See also:Persian See also:wars, a member of the flourishing school of See also:Aegina. Many of his See also:works are mentioned by See also:Pausanias; they included a See also:Hermes carrying the See also:ram, and a See also:strange See also:image of the See also:Black See also:Demeter made for the See also:people of See also:Phigalia; also some elaborate See also:groups in See also:bronze set up at See also:Olympia and See also:Delphi. For See also:Hiero I., See also:king of See also:Syracuse, Onatas executed a votive See also:chariot in bronze dedicated at Olympia. If we compare the descriptions of the works of Onatas given us by Pausanias with the well-known pediments of Aegina at See also:Munich we shall find so See also:close an agreement that we may safely take the pedimental figures as an See also:index of the See also:style of Onatas. They are manly, vigorous, athletic, showing See also:great knowledge of the human See also:form, but somewhat stiff and See also:automaton-like.
