SECONDARY ATTRIBUTES OF VICTOR STATUES. 163 
edge! and right foot of fine workmanship,” I assigned long ago to the 
statue of the Thessalian hoplitodrome Phrikias of Pelinna, who won 
two victories in Ols. 68 and 69 (= 508 and 504 B.C.).? R. Foerster had re- 
ferred this head to the statue of the hoplite runner Damaretos of Heraia, 
whose monument, in common with that of his son, the pentathlete 
Theopompos, was the work of the early Argive sculptors Chrysothemis 
and Eutelidas.* But this fresh and vigorous head is not Pelopon- 
nesian, but shows strongly marked Attic traits in its round face, full 
cheeks, and soft lips, and in the rows of regularly wound locks of hair. 
The arm and foot similarly disclose Attic softness and grace. Because 
of its Attic character, Treu and Overbeck,° in opposition to Foerster, 
ascribed it to the statue of the Elean hoplite victor Eperastos mentioned 
by Pausanias.6 Though the date of his victory is unknown, it certainly 
fell some time after Ol. 111 (=336 B.C.)—a date far too late for so 
archaic asculpture. Furtwaengler’ referred this and the more archaic 
head B to the group of Phormis at Olympia, mentioned by Pausanias.°8 
However, [reu? showed that there was no stylistic connection between 
the two heads. The slightly more archaic head B, badly injured 
from weathering, | have referred to the Achaian hoplitodrome 
Phanas of Pellene, who won Ol. 67 (=512 B.c.).'° In this carefully 
executed head the hair and beard are arranged in small locks and the 
archaic smile is prominent. While the younger head is Attic, this 
one is unmistakably Peloponnesian; and while the former comes from 
a statue represented at rest, the latter, because of the twist of the neck, 
seems to have come from one represented in violent motion. For this 
reason Wolters believed that it came from the statue of a warrior repre- 
sented as thrown to the ground and defending himself. 
The Myronic statue in the Palazzo Valentini, Rome, known as 
Diomedes," whose pose recalls the Diskobolos, may represent a hoplito-

s.v. Ppuxtas (=““Bristle”), believe this to be the name not of the victor but of his horse, so called 
because of his long outstanding mane; cf. Herrmann, Opuscula, VII, 166 n. This is also the 
interpretation of Sandys, Odes of Pindar, Loeb Library, 1915, p. 291, n. 1.
