134 VICTOR STATUES REPRESENTED AT REST. 
fifth century B.C. (Pl. 11).!. Though the right arm and left hand are 
lost, it 1s clear that the athlete held in his raised right hand an oil 
flask, as in the Petworth statue.2, Notwithstanding that the head 
resembles the Praxitelian Hermes,® this does not show that the statue 
is of fourth-century origin, for its original is older; it merely shows that 
the art of Praxiteles was deeply rooted in that of his ints euury, 
predecessors. Because of its Attic 
affiliations, Klein tried to identify 
it with the “Eyxpuvouevos of Alkame- 
nes mentioned by Pliny,* by amend- 
ing that title to °Eyxpuopevos, 
the ‘‘Anointer.”’ Brunn, however, 
rightly saw the analogy of the body 
forms to Myron’s Marsyas,’? and 
Furtwaengler and Bulle have as- 
cribed it to Lykios, the son and 
pupil of that master, who worked 
about 440 B.C., the approximate 
date of the original of the statue.

2The right arm is wrongly restored in the Munich statue; its proper restoration is givenina 
cast in Brunswick: Bulle, p. 112, fig. 20. Bulle, however, says that the Munich statue may 
be that of a boxer and not of an oil-pourer (wrestler).
