Archermus
Archermus (Template:Langx) was a sculptor of Chios working in the middle of the 6th century BC.[1] His father, Micciades, and his sons, Bupalus and Athenis, were sculptors of marble.
A scholium on Aristophanes' Birds,[2] credits Archermus with having been the first to represent Nike and Eros with wings.[3][4] A running archaic Nike figure that was found at Delos in 1877 (Tarbell), was at first too hopefully connected with a separate base found nearby, which recorded the execution of a statue by Archermus and Micciades;[5] at first it was dubbed the "Nike of Archermus".[6] Unfortunately it is the base, which probably supported a sphinx, that alone is by Archermus and his father.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
