EUTYCHIDES

eutychides, of sicyon in achaea, greek sculptor of the latter part of the 4th century b.c., was a pupil of lysippus. his most noted work was a statue of fortune, which he made for the city of antioch, then newly founded. the goddess, who embodied the idea of the city, was seated on a rock, crowned with towers, and having the river orontes at her feet. there is a small copy of the statue in the vatican (see greek art). it was imitated by a number of asiatic cities; and indeed most statues of cities since erected borrow something from the work of eutychides.
