The reticence of Pausanias as to the material used in these stat- 
ues is merely in accord with his custom, 
for he very rarely mentions the mate- 
rials of monuments, and apparently only 
where monuments of bronze and stone 
or other materials stand close together in a 
circumscribed area, as for instance, in enu- 
merating the various monuments in the 
Heraion at Olympia. The only infer- 
ence, therefore, to be drawn from Pau- 
Sanias’ statement about the statue of 
Promachos mentioned is that this par- 
ticular statue of a victor at Olympia was 
of bronze. We are not justified in going 
any further. Besides this stone statue at 
Pellene we have other actual notices of 
marble statues of Olympic victors outside 
Olympia, as those of Arrhachion at Phi- 
galia* (Fig. 79) and of Agias by Lysip- 
pos at Delphi (PI. 28 and Fig. 68). If 
they existed outside Olympia, there is no 
reason why they should not have existed 
in the Altis also, ¢. g., the Lysippan mar- 
ble head found there, which we assigned Fyg_ 78 Small Marble Torso 
in the preceding chapter to the Akar- of a Boy Victor, from Olym- 
nanian victor Philandridas (Frontispiece, pia. Museum of Olympia. 
and Fig. 69). Many of the older statues, | 
like that of Arrhachion, conformed with the ‘Apollo” type, as we 
have shown in Ch. III,° and doubtless many such at Olympia were 
of marble. 
Reinach’s argument that stone statues in Greece, because of their 
patina of color, were intended to be placed under cover in the porticoes 
or cellas of temples and elsewhere, while bronze ones were meant to 
stand in the open air, has been sufhciently combatted by H. Lechat,°

3V, 17.3; here he enumerates images of ivory and gold, the marble Hermes of Praxiteles, an 
Aphrodite in bronze. Similarly, in II, 17.6, he mentions dedications, of different materials, in the 
Heraion of Argos; in I, 26.3, he mentions a bronze statue of Olympiodoros at Delphi dedicated 
by the Phokians, but says nothing of the material of two statues at Athens, where most of the 
offerings were marble; in IJ, 28.1, he speaks of a bronze statue of Kylon on the Akropolis; etc.
