106 VICTOR STATUES REPRESENTED AT REST. 
coast and on the Aegean Isles, the archaic artists have attempted, by 
their modeling of the muscles, especially of the chest and abdomen, to 
express trained strength. The heavy Argive examples, which may be 
said to be the prototypes of the Ligourio bronze and of the Doryphoros 
of Polykleitos (Pl. 4 and Fig. 48), are in strong contrast with the lighter 
type best represented by the example from Tenea. In the former, 
with their big heads and shoulders and their powerful arms and legs, 
we may see early boxers or pancratiasts; in the latter a long-limbed 
runner, with powerful chest, but slim and supple legs. In the Apollo 
of Tenea there is no flabbiness nor softness, and yet no emaciation. 
We see very similar runners on Panathenaic vases. Between the two 
extremes we have a long series, those from Mount Ptoion and elsewhere. 
We do not doubt that the early statues of athletes at Olympia showed 
all the variations we have discussed in these “Apollos.” Of this type, 
then, were the statues at Olympia of the Spartan Eutelidas, the oldest 
mentioned by Pausanias,! those of Phrikias of Pelinna in*Thessaly,? 
and of Phanas of Pellene in Achza,* to whom, later on in this chapter, 
we shall ascribe the two archaic marble helmeted heads found at 
Olympia (Fig. 30), the wooden statues of Praxidamas and Rhexibios,‘ 
the statue of Kylon on the Akropolis of Athens,® and that of Hetoimo- 
kles at Sparta. The statue of the famous wrestler Milo of Kroton by 
the sculptor Dameas, mentioned by Pausanias’ and described by Phi- 
lostratos,’ must also have conformed with the “‘ Apollo” type, though it 
showed a step in advance of the earlier ones by having its arms bent 
at the elbow, the forearms being extended horizontally outward. This 
statue needs a somewhat detailed account. ‘The description of Philos- 
tratos seems to have been founded on the account in Pausanias?® of Milo’s 
prowess, which, in turn, may have arisen from the appearance of the 
statue and the cicerone’s description. Philostratos says that it stood on 
1P., VI, 15.8; he won in the boys’ wrestling match and in the pentathlon in Ol. 38 (=628 
B. C.): Afr.; Hyde, 148; Foerster, 61, 62. 
2Hoplite victor in Ol. 68 (=508 B. C.): Foerster, 151. 
8Victor in three running races on the same day (rptaorfs) in Ol. 67 (=512 B. C.): Afr.; 
Foerster, 144-6. 
4They won in boxing in Ol. 59 (=544 B. C.) and the pankration in Ol. 61 (=536 B. C.) 
respectively: P., VI, 18.7; Hyde, 187, 188, and p. 56; Foerster, 113 and 120. Pausanias, J. c., 
wrongly says that they were the oldest statues at Olympia. 
5He won the double foot-race in Ol. 35 (= 640 B. C.): Afr.; P., I, 28.1; Foerster, 55. 
®6He won five victories in wrestling at the beginning of the sixth century B. C.: P., III, 
13.9; Foerster, 86-90. The statue of Oibotas of Dyme, who won the stade-race in Ol. 6 (=756 
B. C.), was set up in Ol. 80 (=460 B. C.): Afr.; P., VI, 3.8; Hyde, 29; Foerster, 6; that of Chi- 
onis of Sparta, who won seven running races in Ols. 28-31 (=668-656 B. C.), was made by 
Myron, and consequently was erected in the fifth century B. C.: P., VI, 13.2; Afr.; Hyde, 111, 
and p. 48; Foerster, 39, 41-6: these two, therefore, did not necessarily conform with the 
“Apollo” type. 
TVI, 14.5 f; he won in Ol. (?) 61, and in Ols. 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 (=536-516 B. C.): Hyde, 128; 
Foerster, 116, 122, 126, 131, 136, and 141; Afr. gives the second victory as Ol. 62; see Foerster, 
122; 8Vit. Apoll. Tyan., IV, 28. °VI, 14.6-7.
