Since Calamis was supposed to be the teacher of Praxias, and Praxias was said to have made the pediments of the Delphic Temple of Apollo, which recent archaeology dates to 339 B.C. (re-constructed version), the usual dating of Calamis to the fifth century B.C. seems problematical. Some solutions (other than simple errors in dating either Calamis or the pediments) suggest themselves. The first is probably what led to the creation of this Wik site with a Calamis from the 4th century. An alternative is that Pausanius's writing that the pediments were done by Praxias is mis-leading: there are two sculptors named Praxias rather than two named Calamis, or Praxias executed the original pediments. Of course, it could also be the case that the basic facts (P a pupil of C or P the maker of the pediments) are wrong.Kdammers (talk) 02:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
