Apollodorus

5th-century BC Greek painter · Artists

Apollodorus Skiagraphos was an influential Ancient Greek painter of the 5th century BC whose work has since been entirely lost. Apollodorus left a technique behind known as skiagraphia, a way to easily produce shadow, that affected the works not only of his contemporaries but also of later generations.

Apollodorus is read about 13 times a day, in 22 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
