Epidedos
Epidedos ( ancient Greek Ἐπίδηδος ) was a Greek Koroplast who was active in Asia Minor in the early imperial period, probably in the first half of the 1st century .
Epidedos is only known from a signature on a clay statuette of the goddess Aphrodite with Eros , which was found in Olbia , but whose place of origin is assumed to be in the northwest of Asia Minor for stylistic reasons. The statuette is now in the British Museum in London .
An identical statue with the signature of Molas is in the Louvre in Paris .
