Doidalsas is an alleged Bithynian sculptor who is said to have created the popular Crouching Aphrodite, about forty replicas of which have come down to us. The paper is the history of his birth. It tells how he was invented from a corrupted passage in some of the oldest Pliny’s manuscripts and how his biography was gradually built up over the 19th and 20th centuries through imaginative interpretation of epigraphic and numismatic evidence.
