'''Lysippos''' ({{IPAc-en|l|aɪ|ˈ|s|ɪ|p|ɒ|s}}; {{langx|grc|Λύσιππος}})<ref>Latinized ''Lysippus'' ({{IPAc-en|l|aɪ|ˈ|s|ɪ|p|ə|s}}) is less used today, even in English.</ref> was a [[Ancient Greek sculpture|Greek sculptor]] of the 4th century BC. Together with [[Scopas]] and [[Praxiteles]], he is considered one of the three greatest sculptors of the [[Ancient Greece|Classical Greek]] era, bringing transition into the [[Hellenistic period]]. Problems confront the study of Lysippos because of the difficulty in identifying his style in the copies which survive. Not only did he have a large workshop and many disciples in his immediate circle,<ref>His son Euthyktates worked in his style, according to [[Pliny the Elder|Pliny]], and, in the next generation, Tysikrates produced sculpture scarcely to be distinguished from his. (''[[Natural History (Pliny)|Natural History]]'' xxxiv. 61-67).</ref> but there is understood to have been a market for replicas of his work, supplied from outside his circle, both in his lifetime and later in the [[Hellenistic art|Hellenistic]] and [[Roman sculpture|Roman]] periods.<ref>The rediscovered ''Agias'', dedicated by Daochos at [[Delphi]], was a contemporary [[marble]] copy of a bronze. The original was at [[Farsala]] in [[Thessaly]].</ref>  The ''[[Victorious Youth]]'' or Getty bronze, which resurfaced around 1972, has been associated with him.
