Olympic Victor Monuments and Greek Athletic Art by Walter Woodburn Hyde
62. The statue is 1.44 meters high (Bulle). For the inscription on the
6253 words | Chapter 197
tree-trunk, see _I. G. B._, no. 374.
[883] The best example is in Naples, the group being known, and
probably correctly, since Winckelmann’s day, as _Orestes_ and
_Elektra_: B. B., no. 306; Kekulé, _Gruppe d. Menelaos_, Pl. II, 1;
Bulle, 141 (height 1.44 meters); Collignon, II, pp. 662, fig. 347;
Gardner, _Hbk._, p. 557, fig. 151; Clarac, V, 836, 2093; Reinach,
_Rép._, I, 506.4. A sketch of the Naples _Orestes_ and the Ligourió
bronze, showing their great resemblance, is given by Furtwaengler,
_50stes Berl. Winckelmannsprogr._, p. 137. A replica of the female
figure is cited by Michaelis as in Marbury Hall, England: p. 503, no.
6; _cf._ Conze, _Beitraege zur Gesch. d. gr._ Pl.^2, p. 25, n. 3.
[884] _E. g._, the so-called group of _Orestes_ and _Pylades_ in the
Louvre: von Mach, 323; Collignon, II, p. 663, fig. 348; Reinach,
_Rép._, I, 161, 2 (= _Mercury_ and _Vulcan_).
[885] Kalkmann, _53stes Berl. Winckelmannsprogr._, 1893, pp. 77
f., thought that the Stephanos figure went back to an original by
Pythagoras, the rival of Myron, which Furtwaengler, _Mp._, p. 49,
rightly characterizes as “wide of the mark”; Pfuhl, p. 2197, Bulle,
and others regard its ascription to the school of Hagelaïdas as
probable, even if not capable of proof. Furtwaengler, _50stes Berl.
Winckelmannsprogr._, p. 152, believes it was _vermutlich ein Werk des
Meisters_ (_i. e._, _Hagelaïdas_) _selbst_: on pp. 146-7 he pronounces
the life-size marble torso of a statue of a nude man found in a wall
over the ruins of the Palaistra at Olympia (Treu, _A. Z._, XXXVIII,
1880, p. 45)—because of its resemblance in pose to that of the Ligourió
statuette—a Roman school copy of an original bronze victor statue going
back to Hagelaïdas.
[886] _E. g._, the marble group formerly in the Boncompagni-Ludovisi
collection, now in the Museo delle Terme, Rome: Helbig, _Fuehrer_, II,

[890] Loeschke (_Dorpaterprogr._, 1887, p. 7, on the basis of an early
suggestion of Furtwaengler in _A. M._, III, 1878, p. 194) and J.
Six (_J. H. S._, X, 1889, pp. 109 f.), assumed two sculptors of the
name of Alkamenes, ascribing the gable statues and that of _Hera_ at
Phaleron (mentioned by P., I, 1.5) to the elder one. Furtwaengler later
retracted the theory of two artists and assumed but one (_Mp._, p. 90,
n. 3; _Mw._, p. 122 and n. 6). Koepp has shown that the _Hera_ is of no
use in dating, since the story of Pausanias that the temple of Hera was
destroyed by the Persians is an invention (_Jb._, V, 1890, p. 277). The
idea of an elder Alkamenes based on the inscription on a herm recently
found in Pergamon (_A. A._, 1904, fig. on p. 76) has also been refuted
by Winter (_A. M._, XXIX, 1904, pp. 208-211, and Pls. XVIII-XXI), who
has shown that the inscription and statue do not go so far back.

126-127.

[909] Here again Furtwaengler ascribes it to Hegias, whose art he
derives from Hagelaïdas.

Museum_, p. 49, fig. 78; it will be discussed _infra_ in Ch. IV, pp.
220-1.
[911] See _supra_, p. 105 and n. 3.

2521; Brunn, pp. 61-2; Overbeck, I, p. 140; Collignon, I, pp. 225
(= forerunners of Hagelaïdas and Polykleitos), and _cf._ p. 320. On
Eutelidas, see Pauly-Wissowa, VI, 1, p. 1493.
[913] Pliny, H. N., XXXIV, 55; others, _e. g._, P., VI, 6.2, call him
an Argive. He belonged to a family of sculptors, some of whom worked in
Sikyon and others in Argos.
[914] Kyniskos: P., VI, 4.11; Hyde, 45; Foerster, 255; _Inschr. v.
Ol._, 149; Pythokles: P., VI, 7.10; _Oxy. Pap._; Hyde, 70; Foerster,
295; _Inschr. v. Ol._, 162-3; Aristion: P., VI, 13.6; _Oxy. Pap._;
Hyde, 115; Foerster, 376; _Inschr. v. Ol._, 165 (renewed); _I. G. B._,
92; Thersilochos: P., VI, 13.6; Hyde, 114; Foerster, 369.
[915] _H. N._, XXXIV, 91. In the same book, § 72, Pliny mentions
another pupil of Polykleitos, Aristeides, as the fashioner of
chariot-groups. Pausanias merely mentions him in connection with
improvements in the hippodrome at Olympia made by Kleoitas: VI, 20.14;
see Pauly-Wissowa, II, pp. 896-7.
[916] Furtwaengler, _Mp._, p. 226, makes Naukydes, Daidalos, and
the younger Polykleitos sons of Patrokles, the brother of the great
Polykleitos. Naukydes and Daidalos describe themselves as sons of
Patrokles in two inscriptions: _I. G. B._, 86 and 88. Pausanias,
however, calls Naukydes a brother of Polykleitos and son of Mothon: II,
22.7.
[917] Cheimon: P., VI, 9.3; _Oxy. Pap._; Hyde, 88; Foerster, 285;
Baukis: P., VI, 8.4; Hyde, 77; Foerster, 318; Eukles: P., VI, 6.2;
Hyde, 52; Foerster, 297; _Inschr. v. Ol._, 159 (renewed). Naukydes’
activity extended from Ol. 83 to Ol. 95 (= 448-400 B. C.): Hyde, p. 39.
[918] _H. N._, XXXIV, 49.
[919] P., VI, 8.1; Hyde, 72; Foerster, 268.
[920] P., VI, 6.2, expressly distinguishes between the elder and
younger Polykleitos; in speaking of the statue of the boy wrestler
Agenor, he says that Polykleitos, the pupil of Naukydes, “not the one
who made the statue of Hera,” fashioned it. Robert, _O. S._, pp. 186
f., gives his activity as Ols. 98 to 103 (= 388-368 B. C.).
[921] Antipatros: P., VI, 2.6; Hyde, 16; Foerster, 309; Agenor: P.,
VI, 6.2; Hyde, 53; Foerster, 355; Xenokles: P., VI, 9.2; Hyde, 85;
Foerster, 308; _Inschr. v. Ol._, 164; _I. G. B._, 90; Furtwaengler
wrongly ascribed the statue of Xenokles to the elder Polykleitos and
that of Aristion to the younger: _Mp._, pp. 224-5. Loewy had already
assumed the eider for Aristion, _Strena Helbigiana_, p. 180, n. 4, and
this was confirmed by the early dating of his victory in the _Oxy. Pap._
[922] P., VI, 16.7; Hyde, 162; Foerster, 515. On this sculptor, see
Pauly-Wissowa, I, p. 2137; _I. G. B._, 475; _Inschr. v. Ol._, 318; etc.

Apollons archaïques_, p. 274. It is only 3 feet 4 inches tall. The
_Apollo Philesios_, stolen from Miletos at the destruction of the city
by Darius in 493 B. C. (Hdt., VI, 19; but P., VIII, 46.3, and later
writers wrongly say by Xerxes; see E. Meyer, _Gesch. d. Altertums_,^2
1912, III, p. 309), was restored from Ekbatana in Media in 306 B. C. by
Seleukos Nikator (P., _l. c._, and _cf._ I, 16.3). It is also mentioned
by P., II, 10.5. The genuineness of the Piombino statuette has been
assailed, but Overbeck has proved it genuinely archaic: _Griech.

[933] The small bronze also found there, 0.155 meter high, belongs
to the same series: _B. C. H._, X, 1886, pp. 190 f., and Pl. IX. It
greatly resembles the statuette from Naxos. For a list of replicas of

fell either in Ol. 102 or Ol. 103; Cheilon: P., VI, 4.6-7; Hyde, 41;
Foerster, 384 and 392; P., because of the dating of Lysippos, inferred
that this victor fell either at Chæroneia (338 B. C.) or Lamia (322
B. C.), both of which dates fall within the working years of the
sculptor; see P. Gardner, _J. H. S._, XXV, 1905, p. 246; Polydamas:

helmet is separately made and fastened on. Bulle dates it in the first
decade of the fifth century B. C. It is 0.27 meter high (Bulle).

allied colossal marble head in the Museo Torlonia (no. 501) in Rome is
a copy of the colossal _Apollo_ of Onatas at Pergamon, mentioned by P.,
VIII, 42.7. The head of the _Zeus_ found at Olympia (_Bronz. v. Ol._,

[969] Recently these sculptures, and especially the limestone (λίθος
πώρινος) fragments, have been dated from 490 B. C., rather than from
[480] see Svoronos, I, p. 92. The Akropolis was destroyed by Xerxes in
480 B. C., but it is problematical if with the completeness recorded
by Hdt., VIII, 53; see Doerpfeld in _A. M._, XXVII, 1902, pp. 379 f.;

[990] While Schrader (_op. cit._, p. 313) dates it in the last quarter
of the sixth century B. C., Dickins finds it earlier than the remnants
of the sculptures of the Hekatompedon and, because of the delicate
carving of the drapery and hair, despite its Attic features, calls it
“typically Ionian in its elaboration of detail.” However, I follow
Overbeck’s date at the beginning of the fifth century B. C. (_op. cit._
p. 204), and believe that it represents a time near the close of Ionic
influence on Attic art.

[1000] Scherer, p. 33, shows that the gesture in such statues was meant
to invoke victory rather than to pay thanks for one that had been
gained.
[1001] Scherer agrees with Philostratos, _Vit. Apoll. Tyan._, IV, 28,
that the gesture of the right hand of the statue was one of prayer, and
argues from it that many similar statues existed there: p. 31. Rouse
wrongly assumes that all such statues were votive: p. 170.

its Lysippan character; _cf._ also Mau, _l. c._ in next note, Bulle,

to Boëdas, the pupil of Lysippos, who made a praying figure: Pliny, _H.
