Polyeuktos

Polyeuktos, also known as Polyeuctus, was a Greek sculptor and painter who lived in the 5th century BC. He is primarily known for his work in the field of sculpture, particularly his contributions to the Parthenon in Athens. Polyeuktos is believed to have been a student of the renowned sculptor Phidias, who was the chief architect of the Parthenon. His most notable works include the sculptures of the Parthenon's frieze, which depict scenes from the Persian Wars, and the metopes, which are the rectangular panels between the triglyphs on the Parthenon's façade.

Polyeuktos' style is characterized by its naturalism and attention to detail. His sculptures are known for their realistic portrayal of human figures and their expressions. He also made significant contributions to the development of Greek sculpture by introducing new techniques and innovations. Despite his contributions, Polyeuktos is not as well-known as some of his contemporaries, such as Phidias and Praxiteles, but his work remains an important part of the history of Greek art.
