Epigonus

(Ἐπίγονος) of Thessalonica, the author of two epigrams in the Greek Anthology. (Brunck. Anal. vol. ii. p. 306; Jacobs, vol. iii. p. 19, vol. xiii. p. 889.) [P.S]

a Greek statuary, whose works were chiefly in imitation of other artists, but who displayed original power in two works, namely, a trumpeter, and an infant caressing its slain mother. It is natural to suppose that the latter work was an imitation of the celebrated picture of Aristeides. (Plin. Nat. 24.8. s. 19.29.) [P.S]
