What is "thrasymedes"

Thrasymedes of Paros was an ancient Greek sculptor. Formerly he was regarded as a pupil of Phidias, because he set up in the temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus a seated statue of that deity made of ivory and gold, which was evidently a copy of the Zeus of Pheidias. But an inscription found at Epidaurus proves that the temple and the statue belong to the 4th century.

In Greek mythology Thrasymedes was a participant in the Trojan War, where he killed two people. He was from Pylos and was the oldest son of Nestor and Eurydice (or Anaxibia), and the elder brother of Antilochus.
