Greek sculpture

With a few possible (and highly disputed) exceptions, such as "Hermes with the Infant Dionysus" we have no classical or pre-classical (that is, predating 300 B.C.) Greek statues that can be attributed with reasonable certainty to a named master. There are many references to classical master sculptors in ancient literature (e.g. Phidias, Lysimachos) but no certain original works. Any attribution of specific Parthenon sculptures to Phidias is just legendary. There are also sculptures we know existed because later copies/paraphrases have survived, but very rarely do we have original and copy of the same motive. 83.254.146.108 (talk) 19:34, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
