Artists
Polykleitos was one of the most greatest and important sculptor in the high Classical period. Polykleitos was born in Argos and he was taught how to make sculptures from Algeladas of Argos. None of his pieces, except when people copied it, are here today. Most of his pieces are made from bronze. Some examples of his work are Kanon of Polykleitos and his Amazon Figure. Another one of Polykleitos' pieces is Hera, for a temple in Argos and everyone looked up to it. Another artist is Ageladas. He sculpted the Olympian victor, Anochos of Tarentum around 520 BC. Ageladas was probably one of the oldest sculptors. He also made statues by Aigion out of bronze including Zeus as a child and Herakles and they say that Ageladas taught Myron, Pheidas, and Polykleitos how to make sculptures.
