Dolos

In Greek mythology, Dolos (Dolus, "trickery") was the daimon of trickery and guile. Hyginus writes that he is a son of Aether and Gaea while Cicero writes that he was born of Erebus and Nyx.

Dolos is a companion of the Pseudologoi and the counterpart of Apate. In Roman mythology, he is closely equated with Mendacius.

Mythology
Dolos once desired to create a replica of the state of Aletheia to trick people into believing that they were seeing the true statue. He created the statue with such precision that his master, Prometheus, applauded his work despite the fact that Dolos ran out of clay and was not able to finish the statue. Due to his great craftiness, Dolos became a master of his craftiness and tricky ways.
