Stratonicus

• A Greek sculptor, Plin. 34, 8, 19, § 84.—
• II The name of a man, Plaut. Rud. 4, 2, 27 (932).

(Στρατόνικος), of Athens, a distinguished musician of the time of Alexander the Great, of whom scarcely any thing is recorded, except the sharp and witty rebuke which he administered to Philotas, when the latter boasted of a victory which he had gained over Timotheus. (Strab. xiii. p.610; Ael. NA 14.14; Ath. viii. p. 352b.) [P.S]

(Στρατόνικος), a physician at Pergamus in Mysia, a pupil of Sabinus, and one of Galen's tutors, about A. D. 148. (Galen. De Atra Bile, 100.4, vol. v. p. 119.) It is not certain whether he is the same person whose opinion respecting the generation of male and female children is mentioned by Galen (De Sem. 2.5, vol. iv. p. 629), and who is called by him ὁ φυσικὸς Στρατόνικος. [W.A.G]

a statuary and silver-chaser, was one of the artists who made bronze statues representing the battles of Attalus and Eumenes against the Gauls. He therefore flourished about B. C. 240 (Plin. Nat. 34.8. s. 19.24; Pyromachus). He is also mentioned by Pliny, in his list of distinguished silver-chasers (33.55) as the engraver of a cup, on which a Satyr, overpowered with wine, was represented so naturally, that the figure appeared to be rather placed upon the vessel than engraved on it. (Comp. Anth. Pal. 6.56; Ath. xi. p. 782b.) [P.S]
