Mys

（Μῦς). A famous toreutic artist who engraved the “Battle of the Centaurs” on the inside of the shield of the Athené Promachos of Phidias. The work was executed after a design by Parrhasius (Pausan. i. 28, 2), a generation after Phidias. It was Parrhasius also who designed the “Capture of Troy” for a cup embossed by Mys (Athen. p. 782 b; see also Pliny , Pliny H. N. xxxiii. 154).
