28 BC (search for this): entry myron-bio-5
. 4.43.) A wooden statue of Hecate, in Aegina. (Paus. 2.20.2.) Several statues ofathletes. (See Sillig, s. v.) Lastly, a striking indication how far Myron's love of variety led him beyond the true limits of art, a drunken old woman, in marble, at Smyrna, which of course, according to Pliny, was inprimis inclyta. (Plin. Nat. 36.5. s. 4.) His Cow was not his only celebrated work of the kind: there were four oxen, which Augustus dedicated in the portico of the temple of Apollo on the Palatine, B. C. 28 (Propert. 2.23. 7); and a calf carrying Victory, derided by Tatian. (Adv. Graec. 54, p. 117, ed. Worth.) He was also an engraver in metals: a celebrated patera of his is mentioned by Martial (6.92). Nothing is known of Myron's life except that, according to Petronius (88), he died in great poverty. He had a son, LYCLUS, who was a distinguished artist. (Besides the usual authorities, Winckelmann, Meyer, Thiersch, Müller, Junius, Sillig,&c., there is an excellent lecture on Myron in Böt
431 BC (search for this): entry myron-bio-5
Myron （*Mu/rwn), one of the most celebrated of the Greek statuaries, and also a sculptor and engraver, was born at Eleutherae, in Boeotia, about B. C. 480. (Plin. Nat. 34.8. s. 19.3.) Pausanias calls him an Athenian, because Eleutherae had been admitted to the Athenian franchise. He was the disciple of Ageladas, the fellow-disciple of Polycleitus, and a younger contemporary of Phi dias. Pliny gives for the time when he flourished the 87th Olympiad, or B. C. 431, the time of the beginning of the Peloponnesian war. (H. N. 34.8. s. 19.) The chief characteristic of Myron seems to have been his power of expressing a great variety of forms. Not content with the human figure in its most difficult and momentary attitudes, he directed his art towards various other animals, and he seems to have been the first great artist who did so. To this characteristic Pliny no doubt refers, when he says, Primus hic nmultiplicasse veritatem videtur, numerosior quam Polycletus (l.c. § 3). To this love of
