Pausanias mentions a sculptor Kalynthos, who worked with Onatas on a consecration gift that Taranto received after his victory over Peuketeers around 470 BC. BC to Apollo in Delphi . A dedicatory inscription from this period was found on the Acropolis in Athens , according to which a Kalynthos and his brother Polytimos are said to have donated a consecration statue to the goddess Athena , signed by Diopeithes .
