150 VICTOR STATUES REPRESENTED AT REST. 
(Frontispiece and Fig. 69),! which we ascribe in Chapter VI to Lysip- 
pos, and likewiseon the statue of the pancratiast Agias in Delphi (PI. 28, 
Fig. 68).. In most athlete heads the fillet is twisted into a knot at the 
back of the head. In one case, on the Petworth head of a pentathlete 
already discussed,” which, Beene of the curve of the neck, must come 
from a statue Hp woceriastil at rest, it is not so tied, but is wound round 
the head with the two ends tucked in and pushed through the fillet on 
either side over the temples. Though so practical an arrangement 
as the latter must have been common enough in real life, this seems to 
be the only example of its representation in sculpture. 
The fillet, instead of encircling the head, was sometimes held in the 
hand, as in the case of the Spartan chariot victor Polykles at Olympia.* 
A curious life-size statue of the Roman period, found in the Peirzus, 
represents a nude boy holding in his right hand over the breast a bundle 
of books and in the left an alabastron. ‘The body is covered with 
fillets—hfteen in all—which appear to bave been prizes won in gymnic 
contests, probably at the gymnasium or palestra.® 
FILLET-BINDERS. 
Statues representing victors binding fillets in their hair (dzadou- 
menol) are common to all periods of Greek art.6 We shall discuss 
only two—those of Pheidias and of Polykleitos. 
Pausanias mentions a statue by Pheidias, representing a Boy Bind- 
ing on a Fillet, as standing in the Altis at Olympia.’ Robert has 
argued that this figure was the one of similar motive mentioned by 
Pausanias as on the throne of Zeus there. However, the figure on 
the throne was very probably in relief and not in the round. The cicer- 
ones at Olympia seem to have been imposing on the periegete when 
they said that a likeness to Pantarkes, the boy favorite of Pheidias, was 
to be seen in the face of this figure on the throne. The mention of 
Pantarkes has given rise to the usual identification of the mais dva- 
dovmevos with the victor statue of the Elean Pantarkes mentioned by
