Calamis - LoveToKnow 1911 (94 words) |
 | CALAMIS, an Athenian sculptor of the first half of the 5th century B.C. He made statues of Apollo the averter of ill, Hermes the ram-bearer, Aphrodite and other deities, as well as part of a chariot group for Hiero, king of Syracuse. |
| His works are praised by ancient critics for delicacy and grace, as opposed to breadth and force. |
| Archaeologists are disposed to regard the bronze charioteer recently found at Delphi as a work of Calamis; but the evidence is not conclusive (see Greek Art). |

Just Another Fatal Experiment (929 words) |
| Calamis, being the scientist he was, could tell just by the texture of the little insect in his throat that it was a cockroach. |
| Calamis had just swallowed and was in the process of digesting a super-strength serum with a small side of one cockroach. |
| Calamis (well, I don’t know if he’d be called a “Mr.” considering the state he was in) ran blindly across the lab, sending many test tubes and unnamable animal parts crashing to the floor, in either an explosion of glass or a puddle of blood, depending on what was hitting the floor first. |
