86 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VICTOR STATUES AT OLYMPIA. 
The so-called Jason of the Louvre and its many replicas! (Fig. 8) 
probably represent athletes in the guise of Hermes. ‘These statues 
are copies of an original of the end of the fourth century B. C., when 
the favorite motive originated 
—probably with Lysippos—of 
representing a figure, as in this 
case, with one foot on a rock, 
bending over and tying a san- 
dal. Since the replicas in Mu- 
nich and Paris extend both arms 
to the right foot, while those in 
London and Athens extend the 
left arm over the breast, with 
the hand resting on the right 
knee, Klein has argued two dif- 
ferent versions of a common 
type. Hecompares the former 
with figures on the west frieze 
of the Parthenon, the latter 
with the well-known relief of 
Nike tying her sandal, from 
the Nike balustrade now in the 
Akropolis Museum. ‘The one 
type he assigns to Lysippos, 
the other (with both arms down) 
to an earlier artist. However, 
the proportions of both groups 
agree with the Lysippan canon 
and so we should assume only 
one artist. The discussion 
whether the figure is tying 
or untying the sandal is as 
parian as re eee one raised Fic. 8.—Statue of the so-called Jason
