Line 7: ==Career as sculptor and architect== Scopas worked with [[Praxiteles]], and he sculpted parts of the [[Mausoleum of Halicarnassus]], especially the [[relief]]s. He led the building of the new temple of [[Athena Alea]] at [[Tegea]]. Similar to [[Lysippus]], Scopas is artistically a successor of the [[Ancient Greece\|Classical Greek]] sculptor [[Polykleitos]]. The faces of the heads are almost in [[Square (geometry)\|quadrat]]. The deeply sunken eyes and a slightly opened mouth are recognizable characteristics in the figures of Scopas. Works by Scopas are preserved in the [[British Museum]] (reliefs) in London; fragments from the temple of Athena Alea at Tegea in the [[National Archaeological Museum of Athens]]; the celebrated [[Ludovisi Ares]] in the [[Palazzo Altemps]], Rome; a statue of Pothos restored as [[Apollo Citharoedus]] in the [[Capitoline Museum]], Rome; and his statue of Meleager, unmentioned in ancient literature but surviving in numerous replicas, perhaps best represented by a torso in the [[Fogg Art Museum]], [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]].
