Phradmon
Phradmon
Pausanias mentions his statue of the Olympic victor Amertas of Elis,[7] and there is an epigram attributed to Theodoridas of Syracuse, in the Greek Anthology,[8] on a group of twelve bronze cows, made by Phradmon and dedicated to Athena Itonia, that is, Athena as worshiped at Iton in Thessaly,[9] after an Illyrian campaign in 356 or 336 BCE. Phradmon is also mentioned by Columella.[10]
In 1969, three statue bases were discovered at Ostia Antica, one of which had supported a statue of a certain Charite, priestess at Delphi, made by Phradmon of Argos; the inscriptions' form dates them to the 1st century BCE, suggesting that the sculptures had been re-erected on new bases repeating their former inscription.[11]
