260 MONUMENTS OF HIPPODROME AND MUSICAL VICTORS. 
won it.1. Though such a story does not fit the date of Lykidas, who 
won before the colt-race was introduced at Olympia, it shows the 
method of selection.” The race in which the chariot was drawn by 
four full-grown horses (ta7wy Tedelwy Spduos) was introduced, as we 
have seen, in O]. 25. The contestants drove twelve times round the 
course, a distance of seventy-two stades or over eight miles. Pau- 
sanias mentions the monuments of eighteen such victors at Olympia 
for nineteen victories. “The race in which the chariot was drawn by 
four colts (rw\wy Gpua) was introduced in Ol. 99 (=384 B.C.),4 and 
extended eight times round the course, or about 5.5 miles.’ Pausa- 
nias mentions the monuments of only two such victors at Olympia.® 
The race in which the chariot was drawn by pairs of full-grown horses 
(ovvwpis) was introduced in Ol. 93 (408 B. C.) and extended eight times 
round the course.’ Pausanias mentions but one victor in this event 
at Olympia’ and an Olympic victress who had a statue erected to 
her in Sparta for such a victory.? ‘This was probably the original 
chariot-race at Olympia revived in Ol. 93, since the two-horse chariot 
was the historical descendant of the Homeric war-chariot.!®° Panath- 
enaic vases show that this race existed at Athens in the sixth century 
B. C., side by side with the four-horse chariot-race and horseback-race. 
The earliest of these vases, the so-called Burgon vase in the British 
Museum," was a prize there for this event. The race in which the 
chariot was drawn by a pair of colts (cuywpls t@Awv) was introduced 
at Olympia in the third century B.C., in Ol. 129 (=264 B.C.),” and 
extended three times around the course. Pausanias mentions no 
monument-erected to a victor in this race. [The horse-race (imzos 
Ké\ns) was instituted in Ol. 33 (=648 B.C.)®, and the foal-race (1@)os 
Ké\ns) nearly four centuries later, in Ol. 131 (256 B.C.).14 Neither of

*Foerster thinks that the story arose from the small size of one of the horses in the monument 
of Lykidas. 
’These and the following figures are given in the Constantinople MS. The length of the four- 
horse chariot-race there given agrees with passages in Pindar (Ol., II, 50; III, 33; VI, 75; ef.
