  Calamis - LoveToKnow 1911
CALAMIS, an Athenian sculptor of the first half of the 5th century B.C. He made statues of Apollo the averter of ill, Hermes the ram-bearer, Aphrodite and other deities, as well as part of a chariot group for Hiero, king of Syracuse.
His works are praised by ancient critics for delicacy and grace, as opposed to breadth and force.
Archaeologists are disposed to regard the bronze charioteer recently found at Delphi as a work of Calamis; but the evidence is not conclusive (see Greek Art).

Calamis had just swallowed and was in the process of digesting a super-strength serum with a small side of one cockroach.
Calamis (well, I don’t know if he’d be called a “Mr.” considering the state he was in) ran blindly across the lab, sending many test tubes and unnamable animal parts crashing to the floor, in either an explosion of glass or a puddle of blood, depending on what was hitting the floor first.

Ca­lamis, though contemporary with Onatas, seems to have been younger, and his name (as the above citations show) marks the introduction of a less rigid style of art [calamis*].

 Praxias and Androsthenes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Both were Athenians, Praxias a pupil of Calamis.
The statement raises historic difficulties, as, according to the leaders of the recent French excavations at Delphi, the temple of Apollo was destroyed about 373 B.C. and rebuilt by 339 B.C., a date which seems too late for the lifetime of a pupil of Calamis.
In any case no fragments of the pediments of this later temple have been found, and it has been suggested that they were removed bodily to Rome.
