CEPHISODOTUS  , the name of the

father and of the son of Praxiteles, both sculptors like himself . The former must have flourished about 400 B.C . A noted work of his was Peace bearing the infant Wealth, of which a copy exists at Munich . Peace is a Madonna-like figure of a somewhat conservative type; the child Wealth is less successful . 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 in 370 B.C . Of the work of the younger Cephisodotus, his grandson, we have no remains; he was a prolific sculptor of the latter part of the 4th century B.C., especially noted for portraits, of Menander, of the orator Lycurgus, and others (see J . Overbeck, Antike Schriftquellen, p . 255) .
