able to suspect that the Apollo of Tenea is an imported work, coming 
probably from the islands.!_ The two statues of (?) Kleobis and Biton, 
discovered at Delphi in 1893 and 1894, and inscribed with the name 
of the sculptor Polymedes of Argos, have added much to our knowl- 
edge of early Argive sculpture (Pl. 8B, 
=Statue A).2 This Polymedes may have 
been one of the predecessors acknowledged 
by Eutelidas and Chrysothemis, among the 
first victor statuaries known to us by name, 
in the epigram preserved by Pausanias from 
the base of the monument of Damaretos and 
his son Theopompos at Olympia.? The epi- 
gram, in any case, implies that the reputa- 
tion of the Argive school in athletic sculp- 
ture was already well established by the end 
of the sixth century B.C. These massively 
built statues, dating from the beginning of 
the sixth century B.C., outline the muscles 
to a certain extent, even showing the line of 
the false ribs by incised lines. They dis- 
play, however, but little detail in modeling, 
except in the knees, where the artist has tried 
to indicate the bones and muscles. The 
features of the large heads are without 
expression; the large eyes are flat and not Fic. 14.—Statue known as 
convex, as in the example from Tenea, the Strangford Apollo.

though the Argive artist was, perhaps, later reer 
than the Corinthian one, and a long distance 
removed from the later artist of the Ligouri6 bronze (Fig. 16), to be 
discussed later.
