Aetion[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek: Αετίων) was an ancient Greek sculptor of Amphipolis,[1] mentioned by Callimachus[2] and Theocritus,[3] from whom we learn that at the request of Nicias, a famous physician of Miletus, he executed a statue of Asclepius in cedar wood. He flourished about the middle of the 3rd century BC. There was an engraver of the same name; but when he lived is not known.[4]
