Agoracritus. Greek sculptor from Paros, active in the second half of the 5th century bc, a pupil of Phidias. His most celebrated work was a colossal marble statue of Nemesis at Rhamnus, near Marathon, fragments of which survive, including part of the head (BM, London). Several ancient writers, including Pausanias, attributed the statue to Phidias himself, and it is said that he sometimes made works that he generously allowed his pupil to sign.
