- This page is about the sculptor Thrasymedes of Paros. For the mythological Greek captain of the Trojan Wars, see Thrasymedes (mythology).
Thrasymedes of
Paros was an
ancient Greek sculptor. Formerly he was regarded as a pupil of
Phidias, because he set up in the temple of
Asclepius at
Epidaurus a seated statue of that deity made of
ivory and
gold, which was evidently a copy of the
Zeus of Pheidias. But an inscription found at Epidaurus proves that the temple and the statue belong to the 4th century.
