"Mnasitheus or Mnesitheus of Sicyon (Greek: \u039C\u03BD\u03B7\u03C3\u03AF\u03B8\u03B5\u03BF\u03C2) was an ancient Greek painter of some fame mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Natural History.In 251 BC a Sicyonian of the same name helped Aratus of Sicyon to liberate his hometown from the tyrant Nicocles, and since Aratus was surrounded by many artists, there is a possibility that this man was the painter mentioned by Pliny or at least a relative."@en .
