DEDICATION OF ATHLETE PRIZES. 23 
some of the ivory lyres and plectra conserved in the Parthenon oe 
probably offerings of musical victors at the Panathenaic games.' 
Equestrian victors dedicated their chariots, or models of them, and 
their horses. ‘These models might be large or small. We have notices 
of large chariot-groups at Olympia of Kleosthenes,” Gelo,? and Hiero 
of Syracuse;* of small ones of Euagoras,> Glaukon,® Kyniska,’ and 
Polypeithes.2 A large number of miniature models of chariots and 
horses 1n bronze and terra cotta have been found at Olympia,’ some of 
which have no wheels. Many very thin foil wheels have also been 
found.’ Furtwaengler™ believes that these wheels are conventional 
reductions of whole chariots. Some of them are cast’ and they are 
generally four-spoked, but two mule-car wheels are five-spoked.¥ 
These various models are so common and of so little value, however, 
that they may have had nothing to do with chariot-races." 
Many great artists, ¢. g., Kalamis,!° Euphranor,'® and Lysippos,!” are 
known to have made chariot-groups and it is reasonable to assume that 
some of these were votive in character. Besides dedications of chariot 
victors, we find at Olympia also those of horse-racers. ‘These were simi- 
larly both large and small, with and without jockeys. ‘Thus jockeys on 
horseback by Kalamis stood on either side of Hiero’s chariot.18 Krokon 
of Eretria, who won the horse-race at the end of the sixth century B.C.,!° 
dedicated a small bronze horse at Olympia. 20 ‘The monument of ‘he 
sons of Pheidolas of Corinth,”! representing a horse on the top of a col- 
umn, must have been small. Pausanias, in mentioning the two statues
