Cleon (sculptor)

Template:Distinguish2

Cleon (Template:Lang-el) was an Ancient Greek sculptor of Sicyon. He was a pupil of Antiphanes, who had been taught by Periclytus, a follower of the great Polykleitos of Argos.^[1]

Cleon's age is determined by two bronze statues of Zeus at Olympia executed after the 98th Olympiad, and another of Deinolochus, after the 102nd Olympiad.^[2] He excelled in portrait-statues^[3] of which several athletic ones are mentioned by Pausanias.^[4]
