266 MONUMENTS OF HIPPODROME AND MUSICAL VICTORS. 
dedicated merely statues of themselves. In the fourth century B.C. the 
Elean victors Timon,! whose monument was by Daidalos, Troilos, 
whose monument was by Lysippos,? and Telemachos, whose statue 
was by Philonides,? set up statues in honor of their victories. The 
footprints on the inscribed base of the statue of Telemachos show that 
he was represented standing at rest with both feet flat on the ground. 
This was probably the position of the statues of the other two victors 
mentioned. The statue of the Spartan victor Polykles, surnamed 
Polychalkos, stood in a singular group. He was represented as being 
greeted on his return home by his children, one of whom held a small 
grace-hoop in his hand, while the other was trying to snatch the victor 
ribbon from his father’s hand.4- We learn from Diogenes Laertios that 
the tyrant Periandros of Corinth vowed to set up a golden statue of 
himself if he won the chariot-race.° 
The first instance chronologically recorded by Pausanias of a chariot 
victor dedicating his statue along with chariot and horses is that of 
king Gelo of Syracuse, the group being the work of the Aeginetan Glau- 
kias.6 ‘The first instance of a victor dedicating his statue in a group 
with chariot, horses, and charioteer, is that of Kleosthenes of Epidamnos, 
the group being the work of the Argive Hagelaidas.’ Even the names 
of the horses were inscribed on this monument.’ ‘The owner of the 
chariot, to be sure, took the prize, but he felt that the victory was due to 
the horses and driver, and so he associated them with himself in the 
monument. Sometimes the victor acted as his own charioteer. [hus 
the Spartan Damonon, already mentioned as the hero of many chariot 
victories in and near Sparta, tells in the inscription appearing on his 
votive relief that he was his own charioteer.? In the first Isthmian 
Ode Pindar congratulates Herodotos of Thebes, who won the chariot- 
race (?)in458 B.C.,on not entrusting his chariot to strangers, but driving 

1He won some time between Ols. (?) 98 and 101 (=388 and 376 B.C.): P., VI, 2.8; Hyde, 17; 
Foerster, 310; his statue stood beside that of his son Aigyptos on horseback; the latter won xéAnre 
about the date of his father’s victory: P., VI, 2.8; Hyde 18; Foerster, 301. The two monuments 
were by the Sikyonian Daidalos. 
?He won ovrwpidi xal reOpixmy in Ols. 102, 103 (=372, 368 B. C.): P., VI, 1.4; Hyde, 6; Foer-

‘He won some time between Ols. (?) 115 and 130 (=320 and 260 B. C.): P., VI, 13.11; Hyde,

*Polykles won in Ol. (?) 89 (=424 B.C.): P., VI, 1.7; Hyde, 9; Foerster, 796 (undated). For 
this athletic genre group, see Hitz.-Bluemn., II, 2, p. 534. On children’s hoops (rpéxot), see

at Olympia at the end of the seventh or beginning of the sixth century B. C.: Foerster, 80, who 
assumes that 1t was a statue of Zeus, and not of Periandros.

Inscription on the recovered base and another from the base of the monument of Pantarkes, who 
won apparently in the chariot-race at the end of the sixth century B.C. (Inschr. v. Ol., 142; Foer-
