Question
Hello! I'm wondering if you can help me...I have a vocab. list including the name and or terms "Hellas" and "Ictinus and Callicrates". My best guess is that Hellas can be defined by the word "Greek". But what about Ictinus and Callicrates? What would/should I know of them to be important for Greek art history?
Hello carolyn,
I assume that your textbook must include these two fine gentlemen, ancient Greek architects, in the glossary or index. You could investigate a bit further to find what building(s) they designed and built.
Best wishes, sincerely,
J Heuman
