90 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VICTOR STATUES AT OLYMPIA. 
krater in Bologna, which shows the god standing on a pillar with a 
laurel wreath in the lowered left hand and a bowl in the right. On 
coins of Athens, moreover, we see the figure of Apollo in a similar 
attitude with a laurel wreath in the lowered right hand and a bow 
in the left.2~ From such evidence a good case for an Apollo has 
been made out by many scholars—A. H. Smith, Winter,’? Helbig,* 
Conze,®° Furtwaengler,® Schreiber,’ Dickins, and others. The evidence 
of the quiver in the delle Terme fragment and the Torlonia replica 
is looked upon as a deliberate device of the copyist to indicate the god. 
The attempt especially to connect it with the Apollo Alexikakos of 
Kalamis® must certainly fall, since the date is about the only thing 
in its favor. In the long list of statues ascribed to this sculptor,?® 
there is none of an athlete, and the Chozseul-Gouffier type, whether 
it represents Apollo or an athlete, has a markedly athletic character. 
If the Delphi Charioteer (Fig. 66) be ascribed to Kalamis, certainly 
this type of statue can have nothing to do with him or his school. Nor 
is the type at all identical with the Alexikakos appearing on coins of 
Athens,'® in which the locks of hair, in the true archaic fashion of a 
cultus statue, fall down over the god’s shoulders. Besides, the work 
of Kalamis, characterized by \errérns and Xapis,"" must have been 
of the thikone: later archaic style of the transition period. 
Waldstein, however, has made a good case against the evidence 
adduced for interpreting the original as Apollo and he believes that 
the statue represents an athlete.” ‘The thongs thrown over the stump 
in the Chotseul-Gouffier statue, doubtless those of a boxer, seem to 
point to an athlete for that copy at least. The muscular form and 
athletic coiffure of. all the copies also point to the same conclusion, even 
if Waldstein’s ascription of the original statue to the boxer Euthymos, 
whose statue by Pythagoras of Rhegion stood in the Altis at Olympia,” 
is only a guess. Wolters thinks the Choiseul-Gouffier statue may
