This Athenian school of sculpture was followed, in the time of Alexander the Great, by what was called the Si-cy-o'ni-an school, of which Euphra'nor, of Corinth, and Lysip'pus, of Si'cy-on, were the leading representatives. The former was a painter as well as sculptor. His statues were executed in bronze and marble, and were admired for their dignity.
In painting, the Asiatic school of Zeuxis and Parrhasius was also followed by a "Si-cy-o'ni-an school" the third and last phase of Greek painting, founded by Eupom'pus, of Si'cy-on.
