PASITELES  , the most important member of the Neo-

Attic school of sculpture in the time of Julius Caesar . At that period there was at Rome a demand for copies of, or variations on, noted works of Greek sculpture: the demand was met by the workshops of Pasiteles and his pupils Stephanus and Menelaus and others, several of whose statues are extant . In working from early Dorian models they introduced refinements of their own, with the result that they produced beautiful, but some-what vapid and academic types . Pastiteles is said by Pliny (Nat . Hist. xxxvi . 39) to have been a native of Magna Graecia, and to have been granted the Roman citizenship .
