Rhoecus

Ancient Greek architect and artisan · Greece · On the map · Architects

Rhoecus was a Greek Samian sculptor of the 6th century BCE. He and his son Theodorus were especially noted for their work in bronze. Herodotus says that Rhoecus built the temple of Hera at Samos, which was destroyed by fire c. 530 BCE. In the temple of Artemis at Ephesus was a marble figure of Night (Nyx) by Rhoecus.

Rhoecus is read about 5.5 times a day, in 13 languages.
