244 VICTOR STATUES REPRESENTED IN MOTION. 
believes that the original of both statuette and torso was a bronze 
of the second half of the fourth century B.C., Furtwaengler thought that 
the torso went back to the severe style of the fifth century, and that 
this original once stood in Olympia, where it might have served as the 
inspiration for a carelessly worked bronze statuette of a boxer found 
there, which repeats the motive of the torso and similarly belongs to 
the fifth century B.C. (Fig. 2).1. The Olympia statuette also has the 
right foot advanced, the upper part of the body leans backward, and 
the left arm with open palm is outstretched for defense, while the 
right with balled fist is held up ready to strike. It certainly is a votive 
offering of an Olympic victor—doubtless one of the small reductions, 
which were not uncommonly erected for economy’s sake.2, Whether 
the Aeginetan Glaukias also made victor statues in repose is doubtful. 
Waldstein, on insufhcient grounds, has argued that the so-called 
Strangford Apollo in the British Museum (Fig. 14)* is a copy of the 
statue at Olympia of the famous Thasian boxer and pancratiast 
Theagenes by Glaukias. Its close observation of nature finds its 
analogy in the statues of the Aeginetan pediment groups (see Figs. 20, 
21). The statue. of the boy boxer Athenaios of Ephesos, by an un- 
known sculptor, was represented as lunging at his adversary, as we see 
from the footmarks on the recovered base. ‘The left foot was advanced 
and turned outwards, while the right one touched the ground only with 
the toes. Similarly the statue of the boxer Damoxenidas by Niko- 
damos of Arkadia was represented as about to strike. On its recovered 
base the left foot stood solidly upon the ground, while the right foot 
was drawn‘back and touched the ground only with the toes—if we 
judge rightly from the size of the missing part of the stone.> The 
statue of the Ionian boxer Epitherses by Pythokritos of Rhodes seems 
to have had but one foot flat upon the ground, and consequently must 
have been represented in motion, though we are not sure of the posi- 
tion of the other, since one stone of the base is missing.® 
The bronze plate from the base of the statue of the boy boxer 
Philippos, an Azanian of Pellene, was found at Olympia and has been 
referred to the end of the fourth or beginning of the third century B. C.7
