Amphistratus

(Ἀμφίστρατος) and his brother Rhecas were the charioteers of the Dioscuri. They were believed to have taken part in the expedition of Jason to Colchis, and to have occupied a part of that country which was called after them Heniochia, as ἡνίοχος signifies a charioteer. (Strab. xi. p.495; Just. 42.3.) Pliny (Plin. Nat. 6.5) calls them Amphitus and Thelchius. (Comp. Mela, 1.19.110; Isidor. Orig. 15.1; Ammian. Marcellin. 22.8.) [L.S]

(Ἀμφίστρατος), a Greek sculptor, flourished about B. C. 324. From the notices of two of his works by Pliny (36.4.10) and Tatian (Orat. in Graec. 52, p. 114, Worth.), it is supposed that most of his statues were cast in bronze, and that many of them were likenesses. [P.S]
