Файл:Child goose Louvre Ma40.jpg
Roman copy of Boethus' sculpture of a boy playing with a goose.

Boëthus (Шаблон:Lang-el) was a Greek sculptor of the Hellenistic age. His life dates cannot be accurately fixed, but he probably flourished in the 2nd century BCE.[1] One source gives his birthplace as Chalcedon.[2]

He was noted for his representations of children, especially for a group representing a boy struggling with a goose, of which several copies survive in museums.[3] Other works represent a girl playing with dice, and a boy extracting a thorn.[2] According to Pliny,[2] he also worked with silver.[4] Because Boethus was a common name in ancient Greece, specific details of his life are difficult to ascertain.[1]
