[830] See Holleaux, _B. C. H._, XI, p. 186, n. 1. Richardson, p. 41, wrongly thought that they were of marble, explaining the preservation of the arms by their presence; the arms, however, were formerly broken off and have since been readjusted to the statue.

B., no. 76. [834] See Holleaux, in _B. C. H._, XI, 1887, p. 178. [835] From the inscription on its thigh. [836] In the Athens Museum; it dates from the middle of the sixth century B. C.: Staïs, _Marbres et Bronzes_, p. 11, no. 1906 and fig. (1.78 m. high); Deonna, p. 133, no. 5; Perrot-Chipiez, VIII, figs. 189-190; Kabbadias, _Arch. Eph._, 1902, pp. 43 f. and Pls. 3 and 4; Bulle, no. 37 (left), who gives its height as 1.79 meters. [837] See Furtw.-Urlichs, _Denkm._, text to Pl. I, p. 4. [838] Furtw.-Urlichs, _Denkm._, p. 4, ascribe it to the Cretan sculptors Skyllis and Dipoinos, who worked in Argos, Sikyon, and Corinth, or to their school. [839] Statue A: _Fouilles de Delphes_, IV, Pl. I; _B. C. H._, XXIV, 1900, Pls. XIX-XXI (front, side, and rear) and pp. 445 f. (Homolle); Gardner, _Hbk._, p. 155, fig. 25; Gardiner, p. 89, fig. 8; Springer-Michaelis, p. 174, fig. 337; Perrot-Chipiez, VIII, Pls. IX, X. Statue B (fragmentary): _Fouilles de Delphes_, IV, p. 7, fig. 7; _B. C. H._, XXIV, 1900, Pl. XVIII. See also the following: _Gaz. B.-A._, III Pér., XII, 1894, pp. 444-6; XIII, pp. 32 f.; _C. R. Acad. Inscr._, 1894, p. 585; especially Homolle, _l. c._, pp. 445 f. (he exchanges B for A); _cf._ _A. J. A._, 1895, p. 115; Reinach, _Rép._, II, 2, 77, 6 and 7. [840] VI, 10.5; the epigram reads: Εὐτελίδας καὶ Χρυσόθεμις τάδε ἔργα τέλεσσαν Ἀργεῖοι, τέχναν εἰδότες ἐκ προτέρων. Damaretos of Heraia won two victories in the heavy-armed race in Ols. 65, 66 (= 520, 516 B. C.); Theopompos two in the pentathlon in Ols. (?) 69, 70 (= 504, 500 B. C.). Their monument was one in common: Hyde, nos. 94, 95 and pp. 42 f.; Foerster, 135, 140 and 168, 169. [841] P., VI, 15.8; he won in the boys’ wrestling match and in the pentathlon in Ol. 38 (= 628 B. C.): Afr.; Hyde, 148; Foerster, 61, 62. [842] Hoplite victor in Ol. 68 (= 508 B. C.): Foerster, 151. [843] Victor in three running races on the same day (τριαστής) in Ol. 67 (= 512 B. C.): Afr.; Foerster, 144-6. [844] They won in boxing in Ol. 59 (= 544 B. C.) and the pankration in Ol. 61 (= 536 B. C.) respectively: P., VI, 18.7; Hyde, 187, 188, and p. 56; Foerster, 113 and 120. Pausanias, _l. c._, wrongly says that they were the oldest statues at Olympia. [845] He won the double foot-race in Ol. 35 (= 640 B. C.): Afr.; P., I, 28.1; Foerster, 55. [846] He won five victories in wrestling at the beginning of the sixth century B. C.: P., III, 13.9; Foerster, 86-90. The statue of Oibotas of Dyme, who won the stade-race in Ol. 6 (= 756 B. C.), was set up in Ol. 80 (= 460 B. C.): Afr.; P., VI, 3.8; Hyde, 29; Foerster, 6; that of Chionis of Sparta, who won seven running races in Ols. 28-31 (= 668-656 B. C.), was made by Myron, and consequently was erected in the fifth century B. C.: P., VI, 13.2; Afr.; Hyde, 111, and p. 48; Foerster, 39, 41-6: these two, therefore, did not necessarily conform with the “Apollo” type. [847] VI, 14.5 f; he won in Ol. (?) 61, and in Ols. 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 (= 536-516 B. C.): Hyde, 128; Foerster, 116, 122, 126, 131, 136, and 141; Afr. gives the second victory as Ol. 62; see Foerster, 122. [848] _Vit. Apoll. Tyan._, IV, 28. [849] VI, 14.6-7. [850] Frazer, IV, p. 44, believes that this description may be imaginary, concocted from stories of Milo’s feats of strength; but Hitz.-Bluemn., II, 2, p. 601, cite Guttman, _de olympionicis apud Philostratum_, p. 7, Matz, _de Philostr. in describ. imag. Fide_, p. 33, and Gurlitt, _Ueber Pausanias_, 1890, p. 413, as believing that it was based on the appearance of the statue. Scherer, pp. 23 f., thought that Philostratos followed Pausanias in interpreting the attributes of the statue, and that the latter got his idea of the strength of the victor from the statue or from a cicerone. Pliny, _H. N._, VII, 19, says of Milo: _Malum tenenti nemo digitum corrigebat_. Aelian mentions Milo’s feat with the pomegranate in _Var. Hist._, II, 24 and _de Nat. anim._, VI, 55. [851] _Cf._ Philostr., _l. c._, ll. 27, 28: καὶ τὸ μήπω διεστὼς τῇ ἀρχαίᾳ ἀγαλματοποιίᾳ προσκείσθω. [852] _Op. cit._, p. 31. [853] _Cf._ P., VIII, 46.3. [854] Pliny, _H. N._, XXXIV, 75. [855] For the type, see the Payne Knight bronze statuette in the British Museum: _B. M. Bronz._, no. 209 and Pl. I; Frazer, IV, p. 430, fig. 45; the same type appears on Milesian coins. _Cf._ Brunn, I, 77. Frazer is against Scherer’s contention. [856] II, 2, pp. 601-2. See P., VI, 9.1 (statue of Theognetos). [857] _H. N._, XXXIV, 59. [858] _Anachar._, 9; _cf._ _A. G._, IX, 357. [859] No. 38; _cf._ for the left-hand figure, p. 83, fig. 11 (side view). [860] _B. C. H._, XVIII, 1894, pp. 44 f., Pls. V, VI (de Ridder); Perrot-Chipiez, VIII, p. 547, fig. 332; A. de Ridder, no. 740, pp. 268-9, and Pls. III, IV. It is similar in pose to bronzes in the same museum, nos. 736 (= de Ridder, Pl. II, 1), 737 (= Pl. II, 3), and 738 (= Pl. II, 2). It is 0.27 meter high (Bulle). [861] It will be considered later on in this chapter: p. 119 and n. 3. It is 0.185 meter high (Bulle). [862] This statuette, showing Peloponnesian tendencies, is in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; it is 0.25 meter high (Bulle). [863] In the same way the pediment statues from Aegina differ from Attic works by straighter lines and more compact forms. [864] He won a chariot victory some time between Ols. (?) 98 and 101 (= 388 and 376 B. C.): P., VI, 2.8; Hyde, 17 (= 105 d; P., VI, 1.26); Foerster, 310. [865] He won in chariot-racing some time between Ols. (?) 115 and 130 (= 320 and 260 B. C.): P., VI, 13.11; Hyde, 122; Foerster, 513. The date is from the lettering on the recovered base: _Inschr. v. Ol._, 177; _cf._ Hyde, p. 51. On such statues, _cf._ Reisch, p. 41. [866] The spelling Ηαγελαιδας occurs on two blocks, d, e, from the Praxiteles bathron at Olympia: _Inschr. v. Ol._, 631 = _I. G. B._, 30; for the whole Praxiteles bathron see _Inschr. v. Ol._, 266. Dittenberger and Purgold keep the reading Hagelaïdas. Possibly the spelling Ἁγελαίδα stands for ὁ Ἀγελαίδα; the MSS. of Pliny read Hagelades; see _I. G. B._, p. xviii, Add. to no. 30; Gardner, _Hbk._, p. 217, n. 1. On the sculptor, see Lechat, p. 380 and n. 4, and pp. 454 f.; Collignon, I, pp. 316 f.; Joubin, pp. 14 f., 83 f., 92 f., etc.; Brunn, pp. 63 f.; Gardner, _Hbk._, pp. 216 f.; and especially Pfuhl, in Pauly-Wissowa, VII, pp. 2189 f. [867] For Myron, see Pliny, _H. N._, XXXIV, 57. Furtwaengler, _Mp._, p. 196, _Mw._, 379-80, thinks that the connection is not literally true, even if considerations of chronology are not against it, and derives the story of Hagelaïdas teaching Myron from the similarity between the work of the two. For Polykleitos, see Pliny, _H. N._, XXXIV, 55. The tradition that Hagelaïdas was the master of Polykleitos has been unreasonably assailed by many scholars: _e. g._, by Robert, _Arch. Maerchen_, 1886, p. 97; Mahler, _Polyklet u. s. Sch._, 3912, pp. 6 f.; Klein, I, p. 340; _cf._ II, p. 143; _cf._ Springer-Michaelis, I, p.
