DEDICATIONS OF VICTORS IN THE HORSE-RACE. 279 
victor dedicated a chariot without the charioteer. We have evidence of 
several instances of this custom from the sixth century B.C. on. Kro- 
kon of Eretria dedicated a small horse of bronze in the Altis.1. The 
Corinthian Pheidolas dedicated a model of his horse alone, but for a 
different reason.?, [he jockey who rode for him fell off at the start, 
but the mare, named Jura, continued the race and reached the goal as 
victor. [he owner was allowed by the judges to set up a monument to 
her. The sons of Pheidolas were also victors in the horse-race® and set 
up a horse on a column with an epigram upon it—immos érl o77\n 
TeTOLNUEVOS Kal érlypayya éot é’ attT@. Just how this monument 
looked is doubtful. Pausanias may have seen the bronze horse of the 
father Pheidolas, and nearby a column with a bas-relief representing 
the horse of the sons;? or the horse may have stood on top of the column 
in the round, since the epigram was ém av’r@ (on the horse) and not 
ér’ avr (on the stele).° 
More frequently a jockey was seated upon the model of the horse, 
just as we see frequently on vase-paintings. In the Olympic monu- 
ment of King Hiero already mentioned, race-horses with boys seated 
upon them stood on either side of the chariot in honor of his two vic- 
tories in the horse-race and one in the chariot-race.6 Another Olympia 
group represented the boy horse-racer Aigyptos on horseback, and his 
father, the chariot victor Timon, standing beside him.’ This is also a 
case in which the victor (Aigyptos) acted as his own jockey. In the 
group representing Xenombrotos of Kos, the horse-racer, and his son, 
the boy boxer Xenodikos, by the Aeginetan Philotimos and the Chian 
Pantias respectively, the boy was seated on a horse and the statue of 
the father stood nearby.* ‘The base of this group has been recovered, 
large enough to have carried the two monuments.’ Pliny says that the 
sculptors Kanachos and Hegias made groups of horse-racers.'” We have 
seen that Pausanias mentions others by Kalamis and Daidalos. ‘The 
work of Kalamis, the immediate predecessor of Pheidias, an artist 
noted for his grace and softness and as an unrivaled sculptor of horses,”* 
must have been excellent.
