Tisicrates of Sicyon

Tisicrates (also spelled Tisikrates,Teisicrates, and Teisikrates; ) was a sculptor from Sicyon. Ancient sources associate him with the school of Lysippus, and Pliny the Elder introduces him in a way that leaves some uncertainty over whether he was a pupil of Lysippus himself or of Lysippus's son Euthycrates. Most writers, however, list him as a disciple of Euthycrates.

Ancient writers describe his style as close to that of Lysippus. According to Pliny the Elder, several of Tisicrates statues were so similar to those of Lysippus that they were difficult to tell apart.

Tisicrates was also the father of the painter Arcesilaus, and either he or Euthycrates was the teacher of Xenokrates of Sicyon.

In a passage of Pliny (Nat. 34.8.12), some editions give the name as Tisicratis, but this reading is based solely on a conjecture by the editor Gronovius. A later scholar, Sillig, suggested that the correct name is actually Amphicratis, a reading confirmed by the Bamberg manuscript. Therefore, the appearance of Tisicrates in this passage is likely a copyist or editorial error rather than a reference to the sculptor himself.
