PREFACE, VII 
Archaology (Fig. 49), and Dr. J. M. Paton, former editor-in-chief, for 
three other text-cuts from the same journal (Figs. 70, 72, 79). 
To the following I am also indebted for individual photographs: Dr. 
J. N. Svoronos, Director of the Numismatic Museum, Athens, Greece, 
for one of the oldest-dated statues of an Olympic victor (Fig. 79), which 
has already appeared in the American Journal of Archaeology; Dr. A. 
Fairbanks, of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for those of the statue 
of a Charioteer(?) and of the fragmentary head of the Oil-pourer (PI. 
27; Fig. 23); Dr. Edward Robinson, of the Metropolitan Museum of 
Art, New York, for those of the fine Kresilzean and Praxitelian heads 
(Pls. 15, 20), and of the bronze statuette of a diskobolos (Fig. 46); 
Prof. Alice Walton, of Wellesley College, for one of the Polykleitan 
athlete (PI. 13); the Director of the Fogg Art Museum of Cambridge, 
Mass., for that of the so-called Meleager (Fig. 77); Dr. S. B. Luce, 
recently of the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania, for photo- 
graphs of two vase-paintings showing athletic scenes (Figs. 50, 56), and 
Dr. Eleanor F. Rambo, formerly of the same Museum, for a copy of 
the Knossos wall-painting (PI. I). 
A word might be added as to the spelling of Greek proper names. 
Since consistency in this matter seems unattainable, I have adopted 
the method outlined in the British School Annual (xv, 1908-09, p. 402), 
whereby the names of persons, places, buildings, festivals, etc., are 
transliterated from the Greek forms, except those which have become 
a part of the English language. But even here I have sometimes 
deviated from the practice of using familiar English forms. 
In abbreviations of the names of journals (see pages xvI-x1x) I 
have largely conformed with the usage long recommended by the 
American Journal of Archeology. | 
For convenience in identifying the many works of art, discussed or 
mentioned in the text and foot-notes, I have constantly referred to 
well-known collections of plates, such as those of Brunn-Bruckmann, 
Bulle, Rayet, and von Mach. For further convenience, [ have also 
in most cases referred to the outline drawings of statues in Reinach’s 
Répertoire de la statuaire grecque et romaine, and 1n some cases to the 
older ones found in Clarac’s Musée de sculpture antique et moderne, 
and in Mueller and Wieseler’s Denkmaeler der alten Kunst. 
In closing, I have the pleasant duty of thanking generally the many 
friends who have given me valuable suggestions and assistance, espe- 
cially Professor Lane Cooper, of Cornell University, for reading the 
proof-sheets of the entire work, and Professor Alfred Emerson, now of 
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, my former teacher, for revising the list of 
Corrigenda.
