Euenor (painter)
Euenor ( ancient Greek Εὐήνωρ ) was a Greek painter from Ephesus who worked in the second half of the 5th century BC. Was active.
He is named by Pliny alongside Aglaophon , Kephisodoros and Erillos as one of the painters who worked in the 90th Olympiad (420-417 BC). Euenor is one of the masters who prepared the flowering of Greek painting. He is of particular importance among the painters of his time because he was the father and teacher of the painter Parrhasios , who is considered one of the main representatives of the Ionic school of painting.
