334 MATERIALS OF OLYMPIC VICTOR MONUMENTS. 
EARLY VICTOR STATUES AND THE “APOLLO SSIS ERs 
As the earlier examples of the series were discovered under peculiar 
circumstances, they gave no clue to their meaning. ‘Thus the “Apollo” 
of Naxos was found in the quarries of the island, while that from 
Orchomenos (Fig. 10) was first seen in the convent of Skripou, its exact 
provenience being unknown. From the first they were denominated 
“Apollos,” chiefly because of their long hair! and nudity,” while the ex- 
istence of many small bronzes in the same schema dedicated to the god,” 
and cult statues of similar pose appearing on vase- and wall-paintings,* 
helped to make the identification more probable. Certain ancient 
texts, describing archaic statues of Apollo in this pose, were also cited 
as evidence, and it was pointed out that many of these statues were 
actually found in or near sanctuaries of the god. Thus Diodoros, in 
his description of the £davov of the Pythian Apollo made for the Samians 
by Telekles and Theodoros, which we have already mentioned, says: 
TAS Mev XELpas EXOY TapaTeTapEvas, TA O€ KEAN OtaBEByKoTa.> Probably 
the gilded image by the Cretan Cheirisophos in the temple of Apollo 
at Tegea was of this type. The later type of “Apollo,” with the 
arms extended at the elbows, was doubtless followed in the statue of 
Apollo made for the Delians by Tektaios and Angelion,’ and in the works 
ascribed to Dipoinos and Skyllis and their school. It would be easy to 
give an extended list of such “‘Apollo” statues found in sanctuaries.® 
We might instance one from Naukratis, Egypt;° one from Delos;!® two 
from Aktion; several from Mount Ptoion in Beeotia;” a copy of the 
head of the Chotseul-Gouffier Apollo (Pl. 7A) found in Kyrene.® Still 
others have been found in temenoz of temples, ¢. g., two in that of Apollo 
at Naukratis,'* and one in that of Aphrodite there.” 
1The god was so described in the Homeric Hymn to the Delian Apollo, v. 134, and that to 
the Pythian Apollo, v. 272. Onthe grounds of long hair and nudity G. Koerte identified the ex- 
ample from Orchomenos: see his article, Die Antiken Skulpturen aus Boeotien, 4. M., III, 1878,
