Zeuxis was born in Heraclea at 464 BC. Apollodorus was his teacher, and he was disliked by Aristotle. Zeuxis painted the gods; Eros, Alcmene, Menelas, Pan, an athlete, Marsyas chained, and an old woman. Helen, Zeus Enthroned, and the Infant Hercules Strangling the Serpent are considered his best works.
