Nicodamus of Maenalus, Greek sculptor, produced statues of athletes. On the same wall as the offerings of the Agrigentines are two nude statues of Heracles as a boy. One represents him shooting the lion at Nemea. This Heracles and the lion with him were dedicated by Hippotion of Tarentum, the artist being Nicodamus of Maenalus. ... Near to the greater offerings of Micythus, which were made by the Argive Glaucus, stands an image of Athena with a helmet on her head and clad in an aegis. Nicodamus of Maenalus was the artist, but it was dedicated by the Eleans. ... Nicodamus the Maenalian made the statue of the Maenalian pancratiast Androsthenes, the son of Lochaeus, who won two victories among the men. .... Nicodamus, the sculptor from Maenalus, made the statue of the boxer Damoxenidas of Maenalus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License
