ARCHERMUS, a Chian sculptor of the middle of the 6th century B.C., is said by a scholiast (on Aristophanes' Birds, v. 573) to have been the first to represent Victory and Love with wings. This statement gives especial interest to a discovery made at Delos of a basis signed by Micciades and Archermus which was connected with a winged female figure in rapid motion (see GREEK ART), a figure first regarded as the Victory of Archermus. Unfortunately further investigation has discredited the notion that the statue belongs to the basis, which seems rather to have supported a sphinx.
