  • Agoracritus was a famous statuary and sculptor in ancient Greece, born on the island of Paros, who flourished from about Olympiad 85 to 88, that is, from about 436 to 424 BC. He was the favourite pupil and beloved of Phidias, who is even said by Pliny to have inscribed some of his own works with the name of his disciple. Only four of his works are mentioned, viz. a statue of Zeus and one of Athena Itonia in the temple of that goddess at Athens; a statue, probably of Cybele, in the temple of the Great Goddess at Athens; and the Rhamnusian Nemesis. Respecting this last work there has been a great deal of discussion. The account which Pliny gives of it is that Agoracritus contended with Alcamenes (another distinguished disciple of Phidias) in making a statue of Venus; and that the Athenians, through an undue partiality towards their countryman, awarded the victory to Alcamenes. Agoracritus, indignant at his defeat, made some slight alterations so as to change his Venus into a Nemesis (the goddess of retribution or revenge), and sold it to the people of Rhamnus on the condition that it should never be set up in Athens. Pausanias, without saying a word about Agoracritus, says that the Rhamnusian Nemesis was the work of Phidias, and was made out of the block of Parian marble which the Persians under Datis and Artaphernes brought with them for the purpose of setting up a trophy. This account however has been overwhelmingly rejected as involving a confusion of the ideas connected by the Greeks with the goddess Nemesis. The statue moreover was not of Parian, but of Pentelic marble. Strabo, John Tzetzes, the Suda and Photius give other variations in speaking of this statue. It seems generally agreed that Pliny's account of the matter is correct in most of the particulars; and there have been various dissertations on the way in which a statue of Venus could have been changed into one of Nemesis. As late as the early 20th century, part of this statue's head were in the British Museum; some fragments of the reliefs which adorned the pedestal were in the museum at Athens. By the beginning of the 21st century, enough fragments had been recovered (including the base) that a partial reconstruction of Agoracritus' Nemesis was performed in Rhamnus. In it, Nemesis is depicted holding an apple branch and a phiale, wearing a crown decorated with deer. The base depicts Leda showing Helen to Tyndareus. "Agoracritus" is also a character (the sausage seller) in Greek playwright Aristophanes' play The Knights.
  • Agorakritos war ein griechischer Bildhauer von Paros, Lieblingsschüler des Phidias, mit dem er mehrere Werke gemeinsam gearbeitet haben soll, so das 10 Ellen hohe Bild der Nemesis in Rhamnous, eine Statue der Göttermutter in Athen u. a. Ihm allein wurden zugeschrieben die Erzbilder des Zeus und der Athene in Koroneia.
  • Agoràcritos (Agoracritus, Ἀγοράκριτος) fou un escultor grec nascut a Paros, que va viure al segle V aC. Fou l'alumne preferit de Fídies. Va fer una estàtua de Zeus, una d'Itònia Atenes, (ambdues al temple de la deessa Atenea a Atenes), una estàtua de Cibeles (al temple de Cibeles a Atenes), i una de Nèmesi; aquesta darrera Plini diu que fou inicialment una estàtua de Venus que Agoràcritos va fer en competència amb Alcamenes, i que aquest darrer fou el seleccionat, i llavors l'escultor derrotat va convertir la seva estàtua en una de Nèmesi i la va vendre al poble de Rhamnos amb la condició de què mai anés a Atenes.
  • Agorácrito, fue un escultor griego del siglo V a. C. Nació en la isla de Paros y fue discípulo de Fidias, siendo su más notable obra la colosal estatua de mármol de Némesis que se hizo en Ramnunte. Hasta finales del siglo XX, un fragmento de la cabeza se mostraba en el Museo Británico y algunas piezas del friso que adornaba el sustentáculo estaban en Atenas.
  • Agorakritosz (Kr. e. 430 – Kr. e. 420 közt működhetett) Görög szobrász Pároszról származott, Pheidiasz kedvenc tanítványa volt. Az ókori hagyomány négy művét említi: két bronz istenszobrot a boiótiai Koróneiában, az Istenek Anyjának ülő márványszobrát Athénben és híres márvány Nemesis-szobrát (kétszeres életnagyságú álló nőalak, kezében almaág és csésze, hajában diadém szarvasokkal és Nikével) az attikai Rhamnus községben. E két utóbbit Pheidiasznak is tulajdonították s mindkettőt ismerjük antik ábrázolásokból. A Nemesisnek eredeti töredékei is maradtak fenn az istenszobor fejéből, illetve a talapzat domborművéből (Léda átadja Helenát anyjának, Nemesisnek, körülöttük görög hősök), amelyet az Athéni Nemzeti Múzeum őriz. Agotakritosznak tulajdonítják az eleusziszi múzeum fennmaradt Démétér-torzóját.
  • Scultore di Paro, allievo prediletto di Fidia che, a detta di Plinio il Vecchio, gli permetteva di firmare le sue opere. Le fonti infatti attribuirono ora a lui ora a Fidia alcune statue, come quelle della Madre degli dei ad Atene e della Nemesi a Ramnunte, e proprio quest'ultima, sempre secondo Plinio, sarebbe stata trasformata da una primitiva scultura di Afrodite. Eseguì statue di Atena e Zeus per il tempio di Atena Itonia a Coronea. È probabilmente suo lo Zeus di Dresda.
  • Agoracritus van Paros was een Griekse beeldhouwer uit de tweede helft van de 5e eeuw v. Chr. Hij was afkomstig van Paros, maar was vooral werkzaam in Attika. Als (favoriete) leerling en vriend van Phidias stond hij zozeer onder de invloed van zijn meester dat twee van zijn voornaamste werken, nl. het cultusbeeld van Cybele voor het Metroön op de Atheense agora, en de Nemesis van Rhamnus, doorgingen voor werken van Phidias zelf. Van deze Nemesis heeft men een fragment van het hoofd, alsook enkele zwaar verminkte fragmenten van reliëfs van het voetstuk van ditzelfde beeld teruggevonden en geïdentificeerd dankzij de beschrijving ervan door Pausanias. Een opmerkelijk detail is wel dat dit beeld door zijn schepper oorspronkelijk als een Aphrodite was opgevat, maar aan de bevolking van Rhamnus als Nemesis werd verkocht.
  • Агоракрит — древнегреческий скульптор и литейщик. Родом с острова Пароса, любимый ученик Фидия, работавший в 436—424 гг. до н. э. Известен, между прочим, состязанием своим с Алкаменом в деле изваяния статуи Афродиты. Оказавшись побеждённым на этом состязании, Агоракрит переделал свою статую, прибавив к ней надлежащие атрибуты, в Немезиду и принёс её в дар Рамносскому храму. Как о двух несомненных произведениях этого художника, Павзаний упоминает о бронзовых статуях Афины-Итонии и Зевса, находившихся в храме Афины, в Коронее.
