OLYMPIOS
OLYMPIOS (Greek). Gem-engraver of the second half of the fourth century B.C. A carnelian intaglio, in the Berlin Museum, representing Eros bending his bow, bears this artist's full signature, O?YM?IO?. Furtwängler compares the remarkable type of this gem with the archers on a cup of Duris, and the figure of Ulysses on a vase of the Berlin Museum, which apparently reproduces a pictorial composition of Polygnotos. This intaglio came from Athens. Prof. Furtwängler remarks: " Obwohl dieser Künstler...

ONESAS
ONESAS (Greek). Gem-engraver of the fourth century B.C. His signature occurs on two gems in the Florence Museum : Muse leaning against cippus and tuning her lyre; yellow antique paste, 26 X 19 mill., already described by Agostini, 1657-1659. The authenticity of this paste is beyond question; it was probably copied from an original which is now lost. Furtwängler points out the general resemblance of the type with the Venus Genetrix of Alkamenes. A copy of this gem, signed Allion, is modern (B. M...
