Herodotus 1.25

(Alyattes *) dedicated at Delphi a large silver bowl and a stand of soldered iron, one of the most remarkable offerings to be seen at Delphi, the work of Glaukos of Chios, who was the sole inventor of the soldering of iron.

Pausanias 10.16.1

Of the offerings sent by the kings of Lydia none remained but the iron stand of the bowl of Alyattes. This is the work of Glaukos of Chios, the inventor of the soldering of iron ; and each plate of the stand is joined to the next, not with pins or rivets, but with solder alone, which holds them together and acts as a binding material to the iron : and the form of the stand is like that of a tower in the shape of a truncated cone resting on the broader base : the sides of the stand are not entirely closed, but there are crossbars of iron like the rungs of a ladder, while the upright plates are bent outwards at the top, and thus form a support, on which the bowl rests.

Ath. v. 210 C

The stand of Glaukos of Chios at Delphi is really remarkable, by reason of the small figures carved upon it as well as other animal and vegetable forms, while bowls and other vessels can be placed on it.

*Alyattes reigned 617-560 B.C.
