Socrates: Or did you ever know of any one in sculpture, who was skilful in expounding the merits of Daedalus the son of Metion, or of Epeius the son of Panopeus, or of Theodorus the Samian, or of any individual sculptor; but when the works of sculptors in general were produced, was at a loss and went to sleep and had nothing to say?

Skopas, as if moved by some inspiration, imparted to the making of his statue the divine frenzy that possessed him. Why should I not describe to you from the beginning the inspiration of this work of art? The statue of a Maenad, wrought from Parian marble, has been transformed into a real Maenad... The Maenad of Skopas In 4 June 470 BC Phaenarete, the wife of an Athenian sculptor, gave birth to her son Socrates... After spending several years in his father's workshop, he decided that his mission in life was not to be a sculptor of figures, but a moulder of souls. Right at the very entrance to the Acropolis are a Hermes (called Hermes of the Gateway) and figures of Graces, which tradition says were sculptured by Socrates, the son of Sophroniscus, who the Pythia testified was the wisest of men, a title she refused to Anacharsis, although he desired it and came to Delphi to win it. Pausanias ( As Moses Mendelssohn writes in THE LIFE AND CHARACTER OF SOCRATES : In the time of Phidias, Zeuxis, and Myron, no mediocre work could have been granted such an important place.) Socrates , sculptor and philosopher T Tauriscus (See Apollonius of Tralles) X Xenocrates of Athens (working in Sicyon) , author of painting and sculpture art (mentioned by Pliny the Elder) Z Zenodorus
