ANTIDOTUS, pupil of Euphranor and
master of Nicias, about 350-330 B.C. Belonged
to the Theban-Attic school, so called
because it originated in Thebes and was
transferred, after the decadence of that city,
first to Corinth and then to Athens, always
preserving its original traditions. His works,
among which were a Warrior, a Wrestler, and
a Trumpeter, were severe in style and elaborate
in treatment. Pliny is the only ancient
writer who mentions him.—Pliny,
