Polykleitos the Younger

A Polykleitos (Greek Πολύκλειτος, Polykleitos ) called Pausanias as Greek architect, said to have been active in Epidauros BC in the 4th century.

The only source is Pausanias 2, 27, 5: " The Epidaurians but had in the sanctuary a theater that is worth seeing in my opinion. Which architect could ... but probably really compete with regard to symmetry and beauty with Polyklet? Because Polykleitos was the one who built both this theater as well as the rotunda. " This Pausanias, the architect Polykleitos implies the same sculptor Polykleitos of the 5th century BC, equated.

This is to exclude chronological reasons, the rotunda ( Tholos ) began around 370/60 BC, built the theater at the end of the 4th century BC or later. The mention of Polykleitos as architects therefore based on an error of Pausanias. Also, Tholos and theater not have been designed by the same architect.
