List of people named Alcon from classical history information
For other uses, see Alcon (mythology).
The name Alcon (/ˈælkɒn/; Ancient Greek: Ἄλκων) or Alco can refer to a number of people from classical history:
Alcon the Molossian (6th century BC) suitor of Agariste of Sicyon.
Alcon, a surgeon (vulnerum medicus) at Rome in the reign of Claudius, 41–54, who is said by Pliny to have been banished to Gaul, and to have been fined ten million sestertii.[1] After his return from banishment, he is said to have gained by his practice an equal sum within a few years, which, however, seems so enormous that there must probably be some mistake in the text. A surgeon of the same name, who is mentioned by Martial as a contemporary, may possibly be the same person.[2][3]
Alcon, a sculptor mentioned by Pliny.[4] He was the author of a statue of Hercules at Thebes, made of iron, as symbolic of the god's endurance of labor.[5]
