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. Other works represent a girl playing with dice, and a boy extracting a thorn. According to Pliny, he also worked with silver. Because Boethus was a common name in ancient Greece, specific details of his life are difficult to ascertain.
