Critius (Kritios)
sculptor.
The bronze statues by Anteuor of the tyrannicides Harmodios and Aristogiton which had been raised upon the Acropolis at Athens were taken away by Xerxes in 480 B.C. About 470 B.C. the sculptors Critius and Nesiotes were commissioned to replace them. Several representations of their work have come down to us.
