Bathycles

throne

BATHYCLES, a Greek sculptor, born at Magnesia on the Mmander, known for his sculptures on the throne of the statue of Apollo at Arnyclm near Sparta, which Pausanias saw and describes (iii. 18, 6). His date is uncertain, but cannot well be later than between 563-549 B.C. The statue itself existed before his time. For an attempt to reconstruct this throne see Brunn, Rhein. Museum (new series), vol. v. p. 325.
