350 POSITIONS OF VICTOR STATUES IN THE ALTIS. 
house, curve northward in front of the temple of Zeus, which virtually 
would be a repetition of the first €odos. On this theory Doerpfeld?! 
wrongly explained the first route as containing statues éy tn “AdrTe, 
while the second was outside the older Altis, and so, though equally 
long, contained fewer statues. But against this interpretation it must 
be urged that the Periegete is describing the Altis of his day, when the 
road in question was included within its boundaries, and that the Great 
Altar and the two last statues mentioned (187, 188) as standing near 
the pillar of Oinomaos were always inside.2 And neither this Proces- 
sional Way nor the space before the eastern front of the temple of Zeus 
were localities for “unimportant mixed statues.’ Furthermore, if 
he had merely retraced his steps after arriving at the Leonidaion—and 
he says nothing of returning---he would not have begun a new route’, 
but would have said something like this: Ei 6€ értow dvacrpévas amo 
Tod Aewrtdatou pos Tov Bamov abOis adikéo Oat TH SekLG OeAjoeas.® Soit 
is simpler to conclude that the new route wound around the western 
and northern sides of the temple of Zeus over the temple terrace. As 
no building.is mentioned on the way, and as the north side of the tem- 
ple would probably have been called dpiorepa wAevpa (in accordance 
with the usage discussed above in connection with the Heraion), and 
as the Pelopion faces southwest, the words év 6e£v@ can refer only to the 
right hand of Pausanias, 1. ¢., the right side of the road followed. If 
we assume that these words originally stood after toodée ott cot and 
were transferred by a later copyist, the difficulty is resolved.’ 
Of the nineteen victor statues in this second route (170-188, VI, 17.1- 
18.7) no bases have been found.®? But of the three “‘honor” statues

unserer Verwunderung sehen wir, dass der zweite Tcil die ununterbrochene Fortsetzung des ersten 
Tetles ist, also in Wirklichkeit nur eine Ephodos, nur ein einziger Rundgang.”

VI, 18.2 he says that he discovered the statue of Anaximenes “‘by searching” (avevpwr). 
‘Similarly, on arriving at the statue of Telemachos, he moved first to the east and then returned 
(passing the chariot of Kleosthenes) before proceeding west, without mentioning it: see supra, 
p. 345. 5On analogy with V, 15.1. See Hyde, p. 68. 
® The Terrace wall can still be traced before the western front of the temple and also to the north- 
east of it; cf. Treu, 4. Z., XXXVI, 1878, p. 36: “So umgab denn vermutlich einst den ganzen 
Tempel eine statuenbekroente Terrasse.’’ Hitz.-Bluemn., II, 2, p. 619, suppose such a road to 
the west and north of the temple, but would interpret it as being é ap Lo TEpa.. 
‘Cf. Hyde, p. 70. Hitz.-Bluemn. (see preceding note) rejected this textual change of mine as un- 
necessary, and followed Hirschfeld and Doerpfeld in having Pausanias return along the south side 
of the temple of Zeus. I proposed this change by analogy with the text of V, 24.1, V, 21.2, and 
other passages. 
’The bronze tablet of Demokrates (170), found south of the southwest corner of the temple of 
Zeus, did not belong to his victor statue, but to a base which stood probably inside the temple: 
Inschr.v. Ol. no.39. Also the archaic marble helmeted head and arm with the remains of a shield 
attached (see Bildw.v. Ol., Tafelbd., Pl. VI, 1-4, and 5-6), the head being found west of the temple 
and the arm before the gate of the Pelopion, wrongly ascribed by Treu (4. Z., XX XVIII, 1880, 
pp. 48 f., and Bildw. v. Ol., III, pp. 33-34) and Overbeck (I, pp. 198 f., and p. 178) to Eperastos 
(183), Ihave referred to an older hoplite, Phrikias of Pelinna (Foerster, nos. 151, 155): see Hyde, : 
p. 43, and supra, Ch. III, pp. 162-3 and Fig. 30a, b. |
