Cypselus

Cypselus

Cypselus, Tyrann von Korinth um 660, stürzte als Anführer des gemeinen Volks die Oligarchie der Bacchiaden, des herrschenden Geschlechtes. Der Kasten des C., ein Weihgeschenk in Olympia, aus Cedernholz, ringsum in 5 übereinander laufenden Streifen mit mytholigischen Darstellungen verziert, die durch Verse erläutert waren, wurde im Alterthum als eines der interessantesten Kunstwerke angesehen.
