BUTADES, of Sicyon, wrongly called DIBUTADES, the first Greek modeller in clay. The story is that his daughter, who loved a youth at Corinth, where they lived, drew upon the wall the outline of his shadow, and that upon this outline her father modelled a face of the youth in clay and baked the model along with the clay tiles which it was his trade to make. This model was preserved in Corinth till Mummius sacked that town. He is also said to have invented a mixture of clay and ruddle, or to have introduced the use of a special kind of red clay (Pliny, Nat. Hist. xxxv. 12 [43]) • He is said to have lived about 600 B.c.
