STATUES KNOWN ONLY FROM RECOVERED BASES. 855 
whose statue was made by Myron; the Ephesians, Pyrilampes and Athe- 
naios (35, 36), had their statues beside that of their benefactor Lysan- 
dros (35 a). 
4. After Alexander’s time, in consequence of the recent building of 
the Philippeion, Leonidaion, and Theekoleon to the west of the Altis, 
the western side of the temple of Zeus (and, to a lesser extent, the 
northern) became important, and henceforth statues surrounded the 
temple on all sides. Of the thirty-three statues of this epoch, nine stood 
to the west of the temple, four to the north, and seven to the south, 
while the rest stood either to the east, or, perhaps, near the Heraion. 
We shall see also that many later statues, known to us from inscrip- 
tions only, stood outside the Altis, to the west and northwest. 
STATUES NOT MENTIONED BY PAUSANIAS, BUT KNOWN 
FROM RECOVERED BASES. 
Having established these data, it is not difficult, from the positions 
of the many inscribed fragmentary bases found at Olympia and re- 
ferred to victor statues not mentioned by Pausanias, from the apPproxi- 
mate dates of the victories as gained from the age of the inscriptions, 
and by again employing the system of groups already mentioned, to 
state quite definitely where many of these other statues stood. Pau- 
sanias, who mentions 187 victors with 192 monuments in his two 
épodor, expressly states that he enumerates only those ‘‘who had some 
title to fame or whose statues were better made.”! ‘The reasons for 
his selection and the fact that he mentions the statue of no athlete 
certainly later than the middle of the second century B.C. (although we 
know from inscriptions that statues were set up far into the third cen- 
tury A.D., at least)? have been subjects of much discussion, but hardly 
concern us here.’ The three latest statues of victors mentioned by 
Pausanias, whose dates are fixed, may be given: those of Kleitomachos, 
who won rayxpatioy and 7vé in Ols. 141 and 142 (=216 and 212 B.C.);4 
IVI, 1.2, and cf. his words in VI, 17.1. 
2The last dated victor statue at Olympia, known from inscriptions, is that of Valerios 
Eklektos of Sinope, four times victor as herald, winning in Ols. 256, 258, 259, 260 (=245, 253-261 
A. D.): Foerster, 741-744. Philoumenos of Philadelphia in Lydia, victor in wrestling (?) in 
Ol. (?) 288 (=373 A. D.), Foerster, 750, had a statue, as we learn from the conclusion of an 
epigram preserved by Panodoros in Cramer’s Anecd. gr. Parisiensia, 1839-41, II, p. 155, 17 f.; cf. 
Inscr. Graecae metricae, ed. Preger, 1891, no. 133. It may have been in Olympia. 
8On his use of older lists of victors and especially of the Elean register, see P. Hirt, de 
Fontibus Pausaniae in Eliacis (Greifswald, 1878), pp. 12 f.; Mie, Quaestiones agonisticae 
(Rostock, 1888), pp. 17 f.; Kalkmann, Pausanias der Perieget, pp. 72 f. and 103 f.; Gurlitt, Ueber 
Pausanias, p. 426, note 43; Robert, Hermes, XXIII, 1888, pp. 444 f.; Hirschfeld, 4. Z., XL, 1882, 
pp. 105 and 111; J. Juethner, Philostratos ueber Gymnastik, pp. 60-74 (Elean register), and 109 f.; 
Gardiner, p. 50. Pausanias frequently mentions such sources himself, especially the Elean 
register: ¢. g., III, 21. 1; V, 2.19; VI, 2. 3. Hirschfeld (/. c., pp. 105 and 113) and others have 
unreasonably doubted whether Pausanias ever visited Olympia at all.
