his contracted brows showing alert expectation, and his closed lips great 
determination. Furtwaengler, Bulle, Flasch, and others have dated 
it in the fourth century B.C., and are fain to see in it the work of 
an artist of the immediate circle of Lysippos or Lysistratos;! but its 
exaggerated realism seems rather to point to a later period, not earlier 
than the third century B.C.” The bronze foot of a victor statue also 
found at Olympia (Fig. 62)* has been assigned by Furtwaengler to one of 
the statues of Kapros, an ascription which we also have followed. The

position of this foot shows—as an experiment with a living model has 
disclosed—great movement, which makes it obvious that it comes from 
a statue in lively motion, probably ofaboxerorpancratiast. It belongs 
to the statue of a strong man of coarse build; there is not the slightest 
trace of unnecessary flesh on it, but the whole is vigorous muscle, even 
the swollen veins being clearly visible in the photograph. While Furt- 
waengler finds its stylistic parallels in the copies of the Pergamene 
works of the third century B.C., e. g., the Dying Gaul statues, the 
material and form of the base fitting that period, Wolters emphasizes 
its stylistic analogy to the bronze head just discussed. 
The monuments which represent equestrian victors will be left for 
another chapter. 

Thus Furtwaengler assigns it to the statue of the Akarnanian pancratiast (Philandridas) 
mentioned by Pausanias, VI, 2.1; see Bronz. v. Ol., p.11. I have assigned an earlier marble 
head to Philandridas, infra, pp. 293 f.
