Endoeus was an ancient Greek sculptor who worked at Athens
in the
middle of the 6th century BC.
We are told that he made an image of
Athena
dedicated by
Callias the contemporary of
Pisistratus at Athens about 564 BC. An
inscription bearing his name has been found at Athens, written in
Ionic dialect. The tradition which
made him a pupil of
Daedalus is apparently
misleading, since Daedalus had no connection with Ionic art.
He was
also known to have crafted an ivory Athena
Alea, which was in the temple of that goddess in Tegea
until it was
taken by Augustus to Rome to adorn the
Forum of
Augustus
.
