Gorgasus was a renowned ancient Greek painter who, along with the equally renowned Damophilus, was responsible for the decoration of the temple of the goddess Ceres on the Aventine Hill in Rome, which faced the Great Hippodrome. The precise date of their work is uncertain. If the Damophilus mentioned is the same Damophilus from Himera in Sicily, who taught the well-known sculptor Zeuxis, their artwork might actually be from much later than when the temple was built in 496 BC, around 40 years later.
