Cephisodotus or Kephisodotos (flourished about 400 BC - c. 360 BC), father of
Praxiteles and grandfather of
Cephisodotus the Younger. A noted work of his was Eirene (Peace) bearing the infant Ploutos (Wealth) of which a Roman copy exists at the
Glyptothek, Munich (illustration, right). .Cephisodotus also made, like his son, a figure of
Hermes carrying the child
Dionysus, unless indeed ancient critics have made two works of one. He made certain statues for the city of
Megalopolis, founded around 370 BC.
