Athanodoros from Achaia
Athanodoros ( ancient Greek Ἀθανόδωρος ) from Achaia was a Greek sculptor who worked in the first half of the 5th century BC. Was active.
It is known from an inscription on a statue base found in Olympia . After this he was together with the sculptors Argeiadas , Atotos , Asopodoros and possibly Argeios the creator of a consecration gift consisting of several statues from a Praxiteles from Mantineia , which he donated after Olympia. Since Pausanias does not mention the monumental work, it is assumed that it was no longer in Olympia at the time. The multi-part bathron with the inscriptions was found in the Temple of Zeus .
