    Here you can find a listing for some of Ancient Greece artists.
    Maybe one of the most well-known one is Myron, sculptor of the "Discobulus" (photo)
    Other renowned sculptors were Praxiteles and Lyssipos

    In regards of Ancient Rome, we have a different scenario.

    "Curiously, although examples of Roman sculptures, paintings, buildings, and decorative arts survive in great numbers, few names of Roman artists and architects are recorded.

    In general, Roman monuments were designed to serve the needs of their patrons rather than to express the artistic temperaments of their makers."

    That changed a lot many years later, specially during the Reinassance period when many artists were known, admired and facts about them are well preserved.
