Ictinus.

Ictinus. Of Ictinus, who shares with Callicrates the glory of having designed the one perfect building which the world has ever seen, very little can be stated with certainty. In addition to his masterpiece, the Parthenon, the temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae, near Phigalia, the sculptured reliefs from which are now in the British Museum, may be ascribed to him. He is also known to have been the architect of a temple at Eleusis, and to have written an exhaustive treatise upon the Parthenon, with which his name is indissolubly connected. See ATHENS.
