Mousos
Mousos ( ancient Greek Μοῦσος ) was a Greek sculptor of an indefinite period.
He is only known from the report of Pausanias , according to which there was a bronze statue of Zeus made by him in the sanctuary of Zeus in Olympia . The statue stood on a pedestal also made of bronze next to the double altar of Zeus Laoitas and Poseidon Laoitas. To the east of the Temple of Zeus , where the altar is said to have been, a foundation has been excavated, which could be the foundation of the statue.
Apart from Pausanias, the name Mousos can only be found in an inscription from Sikyon , which is seen as an indication of the origin of Mousas from this city, which is known for its bronze sculptors.
