The Aberdeen Head is considered to be a precursor to one of this artist's best known works. A legend
The Aberdeen Head is considered to be a precursor to one of this artist's best known works. A legend claims that a stain on the thigh of one work came from a boy who tried to have sex with the statue because it was so lifelike. He showed a figure leaning on a tree trunk while resting his right forearm on his head in the Lycian Apollo, and he made another statue modeled from the famous courtesan Phryne. This sculptor depicted a boy preparing to strike a reptile climbing a tree in Apollo Sauroktonos and showed a woman modestly covering her genitals in Cnidian Aphrodite. His best-known work shows a god carrying a baby in his left arm. For 10 points, name this Attic sculptor who made Hermes and the Infant Dionysius.
