Erigonos
Erigonos ( ancient Greek Ἐρίγονος ) was a Greek painter who worked in the second half of the 3rd century BC. Was active.
After Pliny he was a student of the painter Nealkes in Sikyon , where he was initially employed as a paint mixer. In his artistry, however, he made such progress over time that he eventually taught himself, becoming a teacher of the famous painter Pasias .
