Definition: The name Eutychides is associated with a statue of the Greek goddess Tyche. Eutychides of Sicyon (fl. c. 330-290 B.C.) was an Hellenistic sculptor and pupil of Lysippus. His gilded bronze statue of the goddess Tyche at Antioch, Syria, was the most impressive, realistic female sculpture of the time. Marble copies and coins give us a good idea of what it looked like. The mural crowned goddess Tyche's foot is on the river Orontes and she holds wheat. Figures of Diadochi Selecus I (founder of the Seleucid Dynasty) and Antiochus I crowned her.
