Osage EARLY GREEK GAMES AND PRIZES. 
/ 
‘When the victor was unable to set up his monument, whether be- 
cause of youth, poverty, early death, or other reason, sometimes the 
privilege was utilized by a relative, a friend, or by his native city. In 
any case it was a private affair with which the Elean officials had no 
concern. We have examples, consequently, of the statue being set up 
by the son,’ father (especially in recovered inscriptions after the time 
of Augustus),” mother,’® and brother;4 also several examples of stat- 
ues reared in honor of athletes by fellow citizens.’ ‘There are cases 
in which the trainer set up the statue.° Frequently the native city 
performed the duty, dedicating the statue either at Olympia or in the 
victor’s city. Thus Oibotas, who won the stade-race in Ol. 6 (=756 
B. C.), had a statue at Olympia which was erected by the Achzan state 
out of deference to a command of the Delphian oracle in Ol. 80 (=460 
B.C.).7 The statue of Agenor, by Polykleitos the Younger, a boy wrest- 
ler from Thebes, was dedicated by the confederacy of Phokis, because 
his father was a public friend of the nation.’ The boy runner Herodo- 
tos of Klazomenai had a statue erected by his native town at Olympia 
because he was the first victor from there.® Philinos of Kos had a 
statue set up by the people of Kos at Olympia ° ‘because of glory won,”’ 
for he was victor five times in running at Olympia, four at Delphi, 
four at Nemea, and eleven at the Isthmus.’ Hermesianax of Kolo- 
phon had a statue at Olympia erected by his city.1! The pancratiast

father two statues by the Syracusan statuary Mikon, one on horseback, the other on foot: P., VI, 
12.2 f.; Hyde 105a and pp. 44-5; another of the same Hiero was set up at Olympia by his sons:
