Antiochus (sculptor)

Antiochus (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίοχος) was a sculptor of ancient Greece from Athens, whose name is inscribed on his statue of the goddess Athena in the Villa Ludovisi at Rome.^[1] It is unclear what became of the sculpture after the Villa Ludovisi was sold and torn down in 1885.

This sculpture is in the style of many similar ancient renditions of Athena.^[2]
