ATTIC SCULPTORS: 129 
representations of male charioteers.!_ However, for the appreciation 
of the relief it is of no consequence whether the figure is male or 
female. It may be merely a dedicatory offering of a Panathenaic 
victor in chariot racing, very possibly assimilated to the type of Apollo,? 
as the god often appears in vase-paintings of the same period in sim- 
ilar costume mounting a chariot.? We shall discuss its interpretation 
more fully later on.4 While Ionism was prone to represent richly 
draped figures which concealed the form of the body, we see in this 
relief, with its fine modeling, a suggestion of the form beneath the 
folds of the garment, and so, perhaps, only another example of an 
Attic master rebelling against alien influence.’ 
At Olympia we have no names of Athenian sculptors prior to the 
Persian war period. Kalamis helped Onatas with the monument of 
King Hiero already mentioned. Mikon made a statue of a pancra- 
tiast, Kallias of Athens, who won in Ol. 77 (=472 B.C.).6 The great 
Myron, of whom we shall speak at length in the next chapter, 
made five statues of victors, which were erected between Ols. 
77 and 84 (=472 and 444 B.C.).7 Only four later Athenian artists 
are mentioned: Silanion of the fourth century, who made statues for 
three victors, whose victories ranged from Ols. 102 to 114 (=372 to 
324 B.C.);® Polykles the Elder, who made the statue of the boy pan- 
cratiast Amyntas of Eresos, who won in Ol. (?) 146 (=196 B.C.);9 
Timarchides and Timokles, the sons of Polykles, who in common made 
the statue of the boxer Agesarchos of Tritaia in Achaia, who won in 
Ol. (?) 143 (=208 B.c.)” 
1See Hauser, Jb., VII, 1892, pp. 54 f., who discusses the question of the sex of the figure at 
length.

>While Schrader (0p. cit., p. 313) dates it in the last quarter of the sixth century B.C., Dickins 
finds it earlier than the remnants of the sculptures of the Hekatompedon and, because of the 
delicate carving of the drapery and hair, despite its Attic features, calls it “typically Ionian in 
its elaboration of detail.”” However, I follow Overbeck’s date at the beginning of the fifth cen- 
tury B.C. (op. cit. p. 204), and believe that it represents a time near the close of Ionic influence
