Cheirisophos

Cheirisophos , Cretan sculptor

Pausanias :

8.53.7

(At Tegea) there is a temple of Apollo and a gilded image, made by Cheirisophos, a Cretan by birth, whose date and teacher I do not know. But the residence of Daidalos at the court of Minos made the Cretans long famous for the making of wooden images. Beside the Apollo stands a portrait of Cheirisophos in marble.
