"Wonders of the Ancient World"... Ignored?

Hi Marcus,
Leochares made the family group in the Philippeion in Olympia and the Krateros-Monument in Delphi (together with Lysippos). It seems that the Alexanderhead from the Acropolis together with the stylistically similar portrait of Philipp are his work, but he was more specialized in statues of the gods (Apollo from Belvedere, Artemis).

Ah! Thanks for the heads up. Actually, I felt rather stupid, because about an hour after writing my post I picked up my copy of Grainger's Alexander the Great Failure ... and noticed that the picture on the front was of a bust of Alexander by ... guess who? ... Leochares! Doh!
