Archermus

Archermus (Ancient Greek: Άρχερμος) was a sculptor of Chios working in the middle of the 6th century BC.

[1] His father, Micciades, and his sons, Bupalus and Athenis, were sculptors of marble.

A scholium on Aristophanes' Birds,[2] credits Archermus with having been the first to represent Nike and Eros with wings.

[3][4] A running archaic Nike figure that was found at Delos in 1877 (Tarbell), was at first too hopefully connected with a separate base found nearby, which recorded the execution of a statue by Archermus and Micciades;[5] at first it was dubbed the "Nike of Archermus".

Marble, 0.90 m. Winged female figure, either a freestanding sculpture or an akroterion (roof ornament).
