Cleon ( Greek: Κλέων Σικυώνιος, fl. around 380 BCE) was an Ancient Greek sculptor of Sicyon. He was a pupil of Antiphanes, who had been taught by Periclytus, a follower of the great Polykleitos of Argos. [1]
Cleon's age is determined by two bronze statues of Zeus at Olympia executed after the 98th Olympiad, and another of Deinolochus, after the 102nd Olympiad. [2] He excelled in portrait-statues [3] of which several athletic ones are mentioned by Pausanias. [4]
