of Praxiteles; Alexandros was familiar with it and produced for
theMelians a statue derived from the Praxitelean tradition.
Aphrodite was probably represented with an apple in one of

Alexandros specialized in achievements related to victories,
bothwith poetic songs (epinikia) and with statues. Aphrodites
statue may well have been erected in the gymnasion .
