fragments—found by the Austrians at Ephesos and now in Vienna.’ 
The subject, pose, and heavy proportions recall the Argive school of 
Polykleitos, and its original has been assigned by Hauser to the Sikyo- 
nian Daidalos, the son and pupil of Patrokles, who was the pupil of 
Polykleitos. As further reproductions of the same type of figure, we 
may cite a bronze statuette in Paris,> and a marble one found at 
Frascati in 1896 and now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.’

resents a nude athlete with a lekythos slung over the left arm and a 
strigil in the left hand, which rests on the hip. A beautiful marble 
grave-relief, much mutilated, in the museum at Delphi,°? which dates 
from the middle of the fifth century B. C., represents a palzstra victor, 
with his arms extended to the right, cleansing himself with a strigil, 
which is-held in the right hand, while a slave boy, holding the remnant 
of an aryballos in his right hand, looks up at him from the right.. The 
careful anatomy of this relief may point to Pythagoras of Samos, as 
its author, though we have no certain work of his, for it fits the descrip- 
tion of that artist by Pliny, who says that he was the first to express 
sinews and veins.°®
