342 POSITIONS OF VICTOR STATUES IN THE ALTIS. 
be convincing that they are used here of the Heraion pro persona.) 
Furthermore, the finding of the inscribed tablet from the base of the 
statue of Troilos (6) and the pedestal of that of Kyniska (7) in the ruins 
of the Prytaneion, 7. ¢., not far from the western end of the Heraion, and 
the base of that of Sophios (22) in the bed of the Kladeos still further 
west,2 makes it reasonable to conclude that the first statues mentioned 
(VI, 1.3-3.7), those of the Spartan group (Kyniska-Lichas, 7-14), 
all of the fifth century, B.C., flanked on either side by statues of the 
fourth, mostly of Eleans (Symmachos-Troilos, 1-6, and Timosthenes- 
Eupolemos, 15-28), originally stood in the order named by Pausanias 
along the southern front of the temple.® 
Leaving the Heraion, we get no further fixed point until we arrive 
opposite the eastern front of the temple of Zeus. For here around the 
foundation of the statue of the Eretrian Bull—still in situ 32 meters east 
of the northeastern corner of the temple (see Plans A and B)*—have 
been found fragments of the pedestals of the statues of Narykidas (49) 
and Hellanikos (65) to the south, of Kallias (50) and Eukles (52), 
beneath that of Kallias, to the north, of Euthymos (56) and Charmi- 
des (58) close together to the east.> So it is clear that the series of 
statues from Narykidas to Charmides (49-58, P., VI, 6. 1-7.1) stood 
in this neighborhood. Now the statues of the family of Diagoras, the 
Rhodian athlete, stood together (59-63), as Pausanias says (VI, 7. 1-2); 
1Hyde, p. 64. I here append three such passages: in V, 24.3, in speaking of the statue of the 
Zeus of the Lacedemonians, he says that it rod vaobd 6€ éorw & dSefta Tod ueyadov Zebs rpds dva- 
Todds HAtov, 1. ¢.,at the southeast corner of the temple near where the pedestal was found (cf. Imschr. 
v. Ol., 252, and Olympia, Ergebn., Textbd., I, p. 86); in V, 26.2, in speaking of the offerings of Miky- 
thos, he says that they stood rapa 6é Tod vaod Tod weyadov Thy & &piorepa TrEbpay, 1. €., on the 
northern side of the temple of Zeus, where most authorities find their foundations (cf. Inschr.v. OL., 
267-269, and Flasch, op. cit., p. 1093); in VIII, 38.2, he says that Mount Lykaion is & apiorepa 
d€ Tov iepod ris Aeoroivys, 1. e., to the north of that temple. Cf. also V,21.2. Professor Bluem- 
ner, reviewing my monograph de olymp. Stat., in the Berl. Philol. Wochenschr., XXIV, 1904, 
col. 1382, objects to my interpretation of & de£:@, and admits not one but three possibilities: (a) 
of the temple pro persona, 1. ¢., its south side; (d) of a spectator facing the chief, 7. ¢., east front, 
the northern half of the space before it; (c) of a spectator with his back to this front, 7. ¢., the 
southern half of this space. But if Pausanias had meant either of the two latter, he would have 
said 96 rod vaod, as in VIII, 37.2, xara rov vadr, cf. V, 15.3, or dvrixpd Tod vaod, ChaVeesals

ay of the finds in the Prytaneion both Hirschfeld and Scherer started this egodos west of the 
eraion. 
‘From the unfinished condition of the back of the Lysippan marble head from the statue 
of Philandridas (10), as well as its excellent surface preservation (Frontispiece and Fig. 69), 
we have already argued that some of these early statues may have stood along the southern 
steps of the temple against the columns of the peristyle: supra, p. 300.

(Charmides); 155 (Hellanikos). Other bases of statues which must have stood in this vicinity 
have also been found, far from their original positions: i. ¢., those of Athenaios (36), 56 meters west 
of the Leonidaion; of Polydamas (47), fragments 26 meters southeast of the Echo Hall; of Diagoras 
(59), five fragments near the Metroon; of Damagetos (62), in the Leonidaion; of Dorieus (61), near 
the Victory of Paionios; of Kyniskes (45), inside the Byzantine church; of Damoxenidas (54), near 
the Heraion. See Inschr.v. Ol., nos. 168 (Athenaios), 151 (Diagoras), 152 (Damagetos), 153 (Do-
