Ptolichus

Pto'lichus

Πτόλιχος, (statuaries.

1. Of Aegina, the son and pupil of Synnoon, flourished from about Ol. 75 to about Ol. 82, B. C. 480-448. [Aristocles]. The only works of his, which are mentioned, are the statues of two Olympic victors, Theognetus of Aegina, and Epicradius of Mantineia (Paus. 6.9.1, 10.2).

Pto'lichus

2. Of Corcyra, the pupil of Critios of Athens (Paus. 6.3.2. s. 5). Pausanias does not mention any work of his, but merely gives his name as one of the following artistic genealogy of teachers and pupils: Critios of Athens, Ptolichus, Amphion, Pison of Calauria, Damocritus of Sicyon. As Critios flourished chiefly about Ol. 75, B. C. 477, we may place Ptolichus about Ol. 83, B. C. 448. He was therefore a contemporary of Pheidias. [P.S]
