284 MONUMENTS OF HIPPODROME AND MUSICAL VICTORS. 
trumpet-shaped instrument.' Trumpeters also appear now and then 
on r.-f. Attic vases of the middle of the fifth century B. C. 
Music victors played a greater role at Delphi than elsewhere, since 
music from the first was the chief interest there. Monuments to such 
victors, though few in number, by little-known artists were set up there, 
but they seem to have enjoyed the same meagre honor at Delphi as the 
statues of athletic victors.2, We have record of a statue of the Epi- 
zephyrian Locrian kitharoidos Eunomos, set up in his native town in 
honor of his Pythian victory over Ariston of Rhegion. ‘Timaios says that 
this monument showed a cicada seated on the singer’s lyre.2 Whether 
such monuments at Delphi or elsewhere were regarded as victor or 
votive in character, we can not say.4 Pausanias mentions several 
statues of poets and musicians, mostly mythical, on Mount Helikon, 
which were set up partly in consequence of victories won there or else- 
where.> Of these the statue of the Thracian or Odrysian Thamyris 
was represented as a blind man holding a broken lyre;* that of Arion 
of Methymna as riding a dolphin;’ that of Hesiod, seated, as holding a 
lute on his knees; and that of the Thracian Orpheus with Telete at his 
side and round about beasts in stone and bronze listening to his song. 
Of the statue of the Argive Sakadas, Pausanias says that the sculp- 
tor, not understanding Pinda1’s poem on the victor, made the flutist 
no bigger than the flute.’ The epigram on the statue of the Sikyonian 
flutist Bacchiadas, mentioned by Athenzus as standing on Mount 
Helikon,’ was votive in character. The inscribed base of the statue of 
the kitharoidos Alkibios has been found on the Athenian Akropolis."° 
Musical contests are pictured on many imitation Panathenaic vases, 
and many Greek reliefs seem to have been set up in honor of such vic- 
tors. Among the latter we might instance the one in the Louvre rep- 
resenting Apollo, Artemis, and Leto,'! and another found in Sparta in 
1885, which represents Artemis pouring a libation before Apollo.” 
At Olympia flute-playing accompanied certain of the events of the 
pentathlon. Pausanias says that the reason why the flute played a

6In another passage, X, 7. 2, Pausanias says that Thamyris won a prize for singing at the 
Pythian games; he also mentions a painting of him by Polygnotos: X, 30.8. On Thamyris, cf. 
also .PiaLV, c6A3 ander. 
"For the story of the poet Arion and the dolphin, see P. III, 25. 7. 
8In X, 7.4, Pausanias says that Sakadas won in flute-playing at Delphi three times, the first in 
the third year of Ol. 48 (=585 B.C.). In another passage, II, 22.8, he says that Sakadas was 
the first to play the ‘‘Pythian tune” on the flute. For a description of this tune, see Pollux, IV, 
84, and Strabo, IX, 3.10 (C. 421).
