Polygnotus was a Greek painter in the middle of the 5th century BC, son of Aglaophon. He was a native of Thasos, but was adopted by the Athenians, and admitted to their citizenship. He painted for them in the time of Cimon a picture of the taking of Ilium on the walls of the "Stoa Poecile", and another of the marriage of the daughters of Leucippus in the Anaceum. Wikipedia
