Kanachos (ii)
( fl c. 400 BC). Greek sculptor. Pliny (Natural History XXXIV.i) placed him in the 95th Olympiad (400–397 BC) as a contemporary of the sculptors Naukydes, Deinomenes and Patrokles. Pausanias (Guide to Greece VI.xiii.7) recorded that he was a student of Polykleitos. At Olympia Kanachos made a statue of Bukelos, the first Sikyonian to win the boys’ boxing competition in the Olympic games; this was probably an idealized athlete in the Classical style, rather than a true portrait. Kanachos collaborated with Patrokles in creating a victory monument at Delphi to commemorate the battle at Aigispotomoi (404 BC), consisting of 10 statues of the victorious naval officers. None of his works has survived.
