ASSIMILATION OF OLYMPIC VICTOR STATUES. 85 
Rome,! and in its replica in the Louvre. The original of this marble 
copy, dating from the middle of the fifth century B.C., has been 
variously ascribed to Pheidias,? Myron,’ and others. In this statue 
the petasos, chlamys, and kerykeion indicate the god, while the 
position of the right arm raised toward the head‘ and the earnest | 
expression of concentration in the face bespeak the god of ora- 
tory. The careful replica of the statue, except the head, in the 
Louvre, is the work of Kleomenes of Athens, a sculptor of the first 
century B.C. The copyist, however, has given to the original a 
Roman portrait-head, whence it has been falsely called Germanicus.® 
The Paris statue, then, is merely another example of the conversion 
of an original god-type, for the sculptor wished to represent a Roman 
under the guise of Hermes Logios, since the inscribed tortoise shell 
retained at the feet is a well-known attribute of the god. 
Another excellent example of a true Hermes head is the fine Poly- 
kleitan one in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which is a copy of a 
well-known type represented by the Boboli Hermes in Florence and 
other replicas.6 Though S. Reinach classed this head as Kresilzan,’ 
its true Polykleitan character has been established,® even if it does 
not merit the praise formerly given it by Robinson, of being “easily 
the best extant copy of a work by Polykleitos.’”

Plastik, Pl. 94, fig. 176 a, p. 80. The statue is 1.83 meters high (Bulle). Head alone in Overbeck, 
II, p. 446, and cf. 456, n. 4; Arndt-Amelung, nos. 270-271. A fine herma-replica of the head 
is at Broadlands, England: Michaelis, p. 219, no. 9; Furtwaengler, W>., p. 58, fig. 13 (three 
views). A poorer copy is in the Uffizi, Florence: Duetschke, III, no. 13; Arndt-Amelung, 
Einzelaufnahmen, 83-84. 
2Graef, dus der Anomia, 1890, p. 69. Bulle finds the head similar to that of the Lemnian Athena 
and the body to that of the Farnese Anadoumenos of the British Museum (=Bulle, no. 49). 
Furtwaengler thinks that its relation to the Lemnia is not close enough to warrant us in assigning It 
to Pheidias: Mp., p. 57; Mw., pp. 86 and 742. On the basis of a Phokaian coin (Berlin example, 
Mp>., Pl. VI, 19; copy in British Museum, B. M. Coins, Ionia, IV, 23), which represents a 
similar Hermes, he ascribes the statue to an Ionian artist and conjectures Telephanes 
mentioned by Pliny, H. N., XXXIV, 68. 
3Helbig finds the head Myronian, but the body unconnected with any of the well-known 
artistic tendencies of his day.

In the Germanicus the arm is bowed more at the elbow, the hand reaching the level of the temples.
