[2] According to the Thebans, the hands and face of the image were made by Xenophon the Athenian, the rest of it by Kallistonikos, a native. It was a clever idea of these artists to place Wealth in the arms of Fortune, and so to suggest that she is his mother or nurse. Equally clever was the conception of Kephisodotos, who made the image of Peace for the Athenians with Wealth in her arms.
