300 TWO MARBLE HEADS FROM VICTOR STATUES. 
From this fact we may conclude that the statue of Philandridas, and 
perhaps those of some of the other victors first mentioned by Pausanias, 
stood on the southern stylobate of the Heraion, over against the columns 
of the peristyle. 
THE DATES OF PHILANDRIDAS AND LYSIPPOS. 
The date of the victory of Philandridas is not recorded, but it 
probably must lie within the years of the activity of Lysippos, who 
made the statue.!. On the principle which has been sufficiently dem- 
onstrated in my monograph de olympionicarum Statuis, that statues 
of nearly contemporaneous victors were grouped together in the 
Altis, as well as those of the same family and state, or those who had 
been victorious 1n the same contest, I have already in that work? pro- 
posed Ol. 102 or Ol. 103 (=372 or 368 B. C.) as the probable date of his 
victory, as his statue stands among those of victors, none of whom could 
have won later than Ol. 104(=364 B.c.). The first six named by 
Pausanias are Eleans and the dates of their victories fall between Ols. 
94 and 104 (=404 and 364B. C.); the sixth, Troilos, is known to have 
won his two victories in Ols. 102 and 103.3 None of the next seven 
Spartans—among whose statues that of Philandridas was placed—can 
be dated later than Ol. 97 (=392 B.C.), while most of them belong to 
the close of the fifth century B.C. Sostratos of Sikyon won in the same 
contest in which Philandridas did in Ol. 104 (=364 B.C.);4 and doubt- 
less his two other known victories should be assigned to the two suc- 
ceeding Olympiads. To bring Philandridas down as far as Ol. 107 
(=352 B.C.) 1s unwarranted, since no statue of so late a date stood in 
this vicinity. On the other hand, to place his victory earlier than 
Ol. 102, is also out of the question, owing to the inexpediency of dating 
Lysippos so early. Doubtless, therefore, his statue by Lysippos was 
placed in the Spartan group about the same time that the image of 
Troilos, by the same sculptor, was placed among the Eleans. ‘This is 
an independent argument, then, for so early a date for Lysippos.® 
Percy Gardner, in the discussion of the date of this artist,® has shown 
how slight is the evidence for any date later than 320 B.C. ‘The date

Ol. 93 (=408 B.C.), many years after the victory: see P., VI, 5.1; Hyde, 47; Foerster, 279;

For the earlier dating of Lysippos, see Winter, Jb., VII, 1892, p. 169 (who begins the artist’s 
activity with the seventies), Treu, Bildw. v. Ol., p. 211, and Milchhoefer, Arch. Stud. fuer

B. C.; P. Gardner, infra, next note. 
SJ. V3 S., XXV, 1905, pp. 243-249; on p. 245 he says: ‘There is some evidence for work by 
Lysippos at a later date than B. C. 320. And if he were born, as seems probable, about B. C. 
390, he may well have accepted commissions, to be executed mainly by his pupils, for several 
years after 320.”
