  Mausoleo di Alicarnasso - Wikipedia
Era una delle delle sette meraviglie del mondo antico e vi lavorarono artisti come Prassitele, Bryaxis, Leochares, Timotheos e Scopas (quest'ultimo, di Paros).
Skopas scolpì il lato est, Bryaxis il lato nord, Timotheos il lato sud e Leochares quello ovest ma, prima che completassero l'opera, la regina morì.
Essi non lasciarono il lavoro comunque, finché non fu completato, decisero che sarebbe stato un monumento sia per la loro gloria sia per quella della loro arte ed anche oggi essi competono gli uni con gli altri.

The rivals and contemporaries of Scopas were Bryaxis, Timotheus, and Leochares, whom we must discuss together because they all worked on the carvings for the Mausoleum.
This was the tomb built by Artemisia for her husband Mausolus, the satrap of Caria, who died in the 2nd year of the 107th Olympiad [351; he actually died in 353].
It rises to a height of 25 cubits [probably the colonnade alone] and is enclosed by 36 columns...Scopas carved the east side, Bryaxis the north, Timotheus the south, and Leochares the west, but before they had finished, the queen died [351].

The rivals and contemporaries of Skopas were Bryaxis, Timotheos, and Leochares, whom we must discuss at the same time since they too did carvings for the Mausoleum.
Skopas did the carving on the east side, Bryaxis on the north, Timotheos on the south, and Leochares on the west, but before they had completed the work the Queen died.
They did not stop working, however, until it was complete, having already decided that it would be a monument both to their own glory and to that of their art; and even today their hands rival one another.

 Hygieia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ariphron, a Sikyonian artist from the 4th century BC wrote a well-known hymn celebrating her.
Statues of Hygieia were created by Skopas, Bryaxis and Timotheos, among others.
She was often depicted as a young woman feeding a large snake that was wrapped around her body.

 Mausolus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is best known from the tomb erected for him by his sister and widow Artemisia.
The architects Satyrus and Pythis, and the sculptors Scopas, Leochares, Bryaxis and Timotheus, finished the work after her death.
The term Mausoleum has come to be used generically for any grand tomb.

 Mausoleum of Halicarnassus - the full story
Vitruvius records that the architect responsible for the Mausoleum was Pytheos, the designer of the Athena temple at Priene and that the reliefs which the memorial was embellished were the works of of the greatest sculptors of the time such as: Bryaxis, Leochares, Scopas, and Timotheus, each was responsible for one side of the mausoleum.
All four sides were adorned with sculptured friezes by some of the first-rate sculptors of the day, Leochares, Bryaxis, Seopas, and Timotheus, who each took one side.
Three of them were apparently brought from Greece, but Bryaxis has a Carian name.

In some ways it was a very different wonder than so many of the religious structures on the list.
This was a tomb dedicated to one man and the decorative sculptures by Bryaxis, Leochares, Scopas, and Timotheus, were of people and animals rather than Greek gods.
All four sides had continuing friezes depicting the mythical battle of the Amazons which was supposed to have been won by the King's ancestors.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1998.12.06
More reliable are signed statue bases, but in the case of "big names" even this "concrete" evidence is not as dependable as it might seem, for the same name was often borne by more than one sculptor, often of vastly divergent dates.
The bulk of the chapter, however, is given over to evaluating the evidence for the oeuvres of the "masters" themselves, and here Ridgway separates one statue type after another from the names with which they have often been associated, beginning with the Diskobolos linked to Naukydes, which she nonetheless accepts as a 4th-c.
Kephisodotos and his son (or son-in-law?) Praxiteles each manage to keep one statue (the group of Eirene and Ploutos and the Knidian Aphrodite, respectively) but they lose their wealth, being disassociated from homonymous Athenians recorded to have paid heavy liturgies.

Indeed, the base may have supported a bronze tripod.
Bryaxis was described as a ‘bronzeworker’ by Pliny (Natural History XXXIV.lxxiii), who recorded two of his works, an Asklepios and a portrait of Seleukos I Nikator (reg 305–281 BC; both untraced).
It is not certain if the former was the statue of Asklepios by Bryaxis that Pausanias (Guide to Greece I.xl.6) saw, together with a statue of Hygieia by him in Megara (both untraced).

The bright sky glaring in the empty spaces between the statues and columns gave the pyramid the appearance of partially floating on air.
Many statues on the monument were made by several leading sculptors, including Skopas, Bryaxis, Timotheos, and Leochares.
Atop the tall pyramid was a sculptured group portrait in a horse drawn chariot.

 The Stage Online :: Reviews :: Scenes de Ballet/Ashton Divertissements/Daphnis and Chloe
The programme opened with the geometric poetry of Scenes de Ballet, perhaps Ashton’s most modernist work, with Jaimie Tapper and Yohei Sasaki elegantly dancing.
The closing item was Daphnis and Chloe with Alina Cojocaru’s debut almost capturing the essence of Chloe accompanied by Jose Martin’s strong performance as the pirate chief Bryaxis.
While it is disappointing that it has so few British principal dancers, the company can boast of its internationally high standard and this balanced programme encapsulates some of the glorious, authentic aspects of Ashton’s choreographic genius.

It's a reasonably important connection, and so it's got several pointers to it throughout the game.

The king was commanded to bring this colossus to the growing city of Alexandria and install it there as the center of a new religion.
It was a magnificent piece of craftsmanship, composed of gems and precious metals, the work of Bryaxis, the companion of Scopas.
By stealth and diplomacy Ptolemy accomplished his purpose, and the colossus was installed with due pomp as the god Serapis in a magnificent temple, or Serapeum, especially built to receive it.

 Clement of Alexandria: Exhortation to the Heathen
He says that Sesostris the Egyptian king, having subjugated the most of the Hellenic races, on his return to Egypt brought a number of craftsmen with him.
Accordingly he ordered a statue of Osiris, his ancestor, to be executed in sumptuous style; and the work was done by the artist Bryaxis, not the Athenian, but another of the same name, who employed in its execution a mixture of various materials.
For he had filings of gold, and silver, and lead, and in addition, tin; and of Egyptian stones not one was wanting, and there were fragments of sapphire, and hematite, and emerald, and topaz.
