Icon of person Ageladas

Ageladas (Ancient Greek: Ἀγελάδας Agelā́dās) or Hagelaedas (Ancient Greek: Ἁγελᾴδας Hagelā́idās) was a celebrated Greek (Argive) sculptor, who flourished in the latter part of the 6th and the early part of the 5th century BC. Ageladas' fame is enhanced by his having been the instructor of the three great masters, Phidias, Myron, and Polykleitos. The determination of the period when Ageladas flourished has given rise to a great deal of discussion, owing to the apparently contradictory statements of the writers who mention his name. Pausanias states that Ageladas cast a statue of Cleosthenes (who gained a victory in the chariot-race in the 66th Olympiad) with the chariot, horses, and charioteer placed at Olympia. Also at Olympia, there were statues by Ageladas of Timasitheus of Delphi and Anochus of Tarentum. Read more on Wikipedia

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Ageladas is the 55th most popular sculptor (up from 56th in 2019), the 313th most popular biography from Greece (up from 326th in 2019) and the 11th most popular Greek Sculptor.
