THE SECOND EPHODOS OF PAUSANIAS. 351 
included, one base, that of the rhetorician Gorgias of Leontini (184a), 
was recovered 10 meters northeast of the temple of Zeus, and so prob- 
ably not very far from its original position;! for Pausanias mentions 
only three more statues, before he comes to the last two in this édodos, 
which two stood in this vicinity. The parts of the Altis to the west 
and north of the temple were unimportant till the time of Alexander 
the Great, and were, therefore, remarkably free of monuments. Inthe 
whole description of Pausanias, we know of only three altars (those of 
Aphrodite, the Seasons, and the Nymphs) and a wild olive tree (the 
“Olive of the Beautiful Crown’’) to the west of the temple (V, 15. 3), 
and only of the votive offerings of a certain Mikythos or Smikythos 
to the north of it (V, 26.2).2. As the statue of Gorgias stood among 
the “unimportant mixed statues’ already mentioned (184-186), these 
must have stood somewhere north of the temple near its eastern end. 
Finally, the two ancient wooden statues of Praxidamas and Rhexibios 
(187-188, P., VI, 18.7) are mentioned by themselves as near the column 
of Oinomaos, which Pausanias elsewhere® says stood near the Great 
Altar of Zeus to the left of a road running south from it to the temple. 
Pausanias, after describing these “mixed” statues, may have finally 
left the route thus far followed and introduced these last two statues as 
quite distinct from the second édodos.4 But he does not seem to have 
gone far from his route, for immediately after ending his account of the 
victor statues, he begins his account of the Treasuries, which lay 
beyond the Great Altar farther north.’ (Plans A and B.) 
Thus Pausanias ends his second route somewhere short of the Great 
Altar, and it appears after all to be only a continuation of the first, 
forming with it one unbroken “Rundgang,”’ though in quite a different 
sense of the word from that intended by Doerpfeld.

2See Inschr. v. Ol., nos. 267-269. The supposed foundation was found thirty feet north of the 
temple; cf. Frazer, III, pp. 646 f.; etc. 
3V, 20.6 f. A large foundation, between the pedestal of Dropion, King of the Paionians, 
Inschr.v. Ol., no. 303, (see Plans A and B), and the pedestal of the Eretrian Bull, may have formed 
part of the house of Oinomaos (cf. Curtius-Adler, of. cit., p. 40; Flasch, /. c., p. 1074). Wernicke, 
(Jb., IX, 1894, p. 95), however, refers it to the oval depression called the Great Altar site. Doerp- 
feld (Ergebn. v. Ol., Textbd., I, p. 82) is opposed to this view and places it further north, near 
the Metroon. 
4Thisis Kalkmann’s theory (oP. cit., p. 89), who calls this section (VI, 18.7) the “letzter Trumpf,” 
an addition having no connection with the second éyodos. He compares it with V, 24.9, where 
Pausanias, after ending the periegesis of the altars, adds one more, that of “Zeus Horkios,” which 
stood in the Council House, though he had already passed this point twice without mentioning the 
fact. Kalkmann also compares it with V, 27.12 (the transition to the account of the victor 
statues). Gurlitt (op. cit., p. 392) explains this last section, 1. ¢., V, 27.12, as due to a later 
revision of Pausanias’ work.
