Angelion(77 words)
[German version]
Sculptor in archaic times who, together with Tectaeus, is regarded as a pupil of Dipoenus and Scyllis. Plutarch describes the wooden cult statue of Apollo on Delos with a discus in his hand on which the three Charites stood; it was produced together with Tectaeus. Later, gold wreaths were added to the Charites by queen Stratonice. The statue is shown on later Athenian coins.
