Argius (Ancient Greek: Ἄργιος or Ἀργεῖος) was a sculptor of ancient Greece who was the disciple of Polykleitos, and therefore flourished about 388 BCE.[1]
The 19th century classical scholar Friedrich Thiersch supposed that Pliny the Elder, in the words "Argius, Asopodorus," mis-translated his Greek authority, which had Ἀργεῖος Ἀσωπόδωρος, or "Asopodorus the Argive."[2] But "Argius" is found as a Greek proper name in both the forms, Ἄργιος and Ἀργεῖος.[3][4]
