PRIMARY ATTRIBUTES OF VICTOR STATUES. 159 
Delian artist added a mantle and a quiver to the nearby tree-trunk and 
thus converted an original victor statue into one of agod.!. Though its 
arms are lost, it is easy to see that the athlete is pulling the ends of the 
fillet together so as to tighten the knot at the back of the head. As this 
is a Hellenistic Greek copy, it comes far nearer to the original than the 
imperial Roman one from Vaison. 
The lighter proportions and softer 
modeling show the Attic influ-

One of the best preserved and 
most beautiful copies is the one in

Roman copy, like the one in the 
British Museum, it comes very near 
the original because of the preci-

good copies of the head alone.® 
Marble heads in Kassel and Dres-

(Fig. 29) surpasses all others in the
