Cephisodotus was the name of two ancient Greek sculptors, the father and the son of the sculptor Praxiteles.

Of the work of the younger Cephisodotus, his grandson, we have no remains; he was a prolific sculptor of the latter part of the 4th century BC, especially noted for portraits, of Menander, of the orator Lycurgus, and others.

 Praxiteles
This political renaissance was the signal for an active movement in art, and the adornment of the new-founded or reconstructed cities drew a number of the Attic artists into the Peloponnesus, among them Cephisodotus the elder and his compatriot Xenophon.
At any rate he there found occasion to manifest his youthful genius; for he contributed to the adornment of Mantinea one group, `Leto, Apollo, and Artemis,' which Pausanias dates with some exactness, placing it in the third generation after the sculptor Alcamenes, who was a pupil and contemporary of Phidias.
What we know of his sons Cephisodotus and Timarehos confirms this conclusion, for their works belong to the end of the fourth century, and their period of greatest productiveness appears to have been during the ten years of peace which the government of Demetrius of Phalerus brought to Athens.

En toen Chares haast maakte om zijn financieel verslag te laten goedkeuren over zijn aandeel in de Olynthische oorlog, reageerde Cephisodotus verontwaardigd dat hij het volk aan het verstikken was in zijn pogingen om het zijn rekeningen door de keel te jagen.

 Art after Empire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
One of the distinctive developments of Greek Art in the era after the Fall of Athens is seen in the work of the sculptors Cephisodotus and Praxiteles--father and son.
Rather than strive for the poised moment of dynamic action (rhythmos) or the expression of intense suffering (pathos), these artists focus on the stable bond of sentimental affection, especially in the famous 'family groupings', 'Peace and Wealth' (Eirene and Ploutos) and Hermes with the infant Dionysus.
A faint smile of fraternal amusement perhaps flickered on the face of the original.
