Boethus of Carthage
Boethos of Carthage ( Greek Βόηθος ), son of Apollodorus , was a Greek sculptor of the 2nd century BC. Chr.
Pausanias names among the statues that stood in the Heraion at Olympia the statue of a naked seated boy made of gilded bronze, which the Carchedonian (= Carthaginian ) Boethos created. A statue base from Ephesus also names Boethos from Carthage, son of Apollodorus. The sculpture of the boy with the fox goose has often been connected to this base , but this is rather unlikely; also the opinion that the so-called goose - choke was created by this Boethos and not by Boethos of Kalchedon .
