Classical Greek sculpture
Period in ancient Greek sculpture
Classical Greek sculpture has long been regarded as the highest point in the development of Ancient Greek sculpture. Classical Greece covers only a short period in the history of Ancient Greece, but one of remarkable achievement in several fields. It corresponds to most of the 5th and 4th centuries BC; the most common dates are from the fall of the last Athenian tyrant in 510 BC to the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. The Classical period in this sense follows the Greek Dark Ages and Archaic period and is in turn succeeded by the Hellenistic period.[1]

Tajik writer considers Lysippos carves marble head of Spitamenes by order of Alexander the Great
DUSHANBE, May 11, 2009, Asia-Plus -- Tajik writer Ato Hamdam considers that the Greek sculptor Lysippos had carved marble head of legendary Spitamenes by order of Alexander the Great.
According to him, the marble head “Dying Persian in Hood” is currently kept in one of museums in Rome. “According to historical facts, this marble head had been carved by Lysippos by order of Alexander the Great after death of Spitamenes in recognition of his feats in war against Greeks,” Hamdam said, noting that many historians had written about that sculpture during many centuries. He noted that he had already submitted the sculpture’s photograph to president’s executive office.
Lysippos was a Greek sculptor of the 4th century BC. Together with Scopas and Praxiteles, he is considered one of the three great sculptors of the Classical Greek era, bringing transition into the Hellenistic period. Lysippos was the greatest of the Greek sculptors of the Classical Age in Greece -- 370-323 B.C.
It is to be noted that the details of the career of Lysippos are not fully known and no originals of his work remain. His work is known primarily through just copies of t
