from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apollodoros ( Greek  Άπολλόδωρος ) (active in the 5th century BC) was a Greek sculptor . He is with Pliny d. Ä. , Naturalis historia 34, 86 mentioned. After that he is said to have created a number of statues of philosophers. No work can be ascribed to him with certainty.
