PRAXIAS and ANDROSTHENES, See also:

Greek sculptors, who are said by See also:Pausanias (x. 19, 4) to have executed the pediments of the See also:temple of See also:Apollo at See also:Delphi. Both were Athenians; Praxias a See also:pupil of See also:Calamis. The statement raises historic difficulties, as, according to the leaders of the See also:recent See also:French excavations at Delphi, the temple of Apollo was destroyed about 373 B.C. and rebuilt by 339 B.C., a date which seems too See also:late for the lifetime of a pupil of Calamis. In any See also:case no fragments of the pediments of this later temple have been found, and it has been suggested that they were removed bodily to See also:Rome.
