OLYMPIC VICTOR MONUMENTS ERECTED OUTSIDE OLYMPIA. 361 
revived in the second and first, only to decrease again after the first 
century A.D. On the other hand, the inscriptions show that the num- 
ber of “honor” statues correspondingly increased. Of the later statues, 
most were erected to Eleans; names of victors from Sicily and Italy, 
and from the older Greek states, as Sparta and Athens, are rare, being 
replaced by those from Asia Minor and the newer towns of the Greek 
mainland. ‘This falling off of interest in the games was largely due 
to professionalism. In the second century B.C., we begin to read in 
the inscriptions of wepiodovixar, 1. €., victors winning prizes at all the 
four national games, a sure indication of the professional spirit. Even 
Pausanias mentions two such victors.! 
From these inscribed base-fragments, we‘have knowledge of 61 vic- 
tors (63 monuments)? who had statues erected to them, though they 
are not named in the lists of Pausanias. Of the 192 monuments men- 
tioned by Pausanias, 40 are known to us from recovered fragments of 
bases and statues. So if we assume the same ratio between known and 
unknown for those not mentioned by Pausanias, we should have the 
proportion 40: 192: :63:«, where x would equal 302, making a grand 
total of 494 monuments, which number can not be far from the actual 
number of victor statues adorning the Altis.’ 
OLYMPIC VICTOR MONUMENTS ERECTED OUTSIDE OLYMPIA. 
In Chapter I, we showed that frequently statues or other monuments 
were erected in their native towns as a part of the honor paid to Olym- 
pic victors. We shall now give a list of all such monuments set up in 
various parts of the Greek world which are known to us from notices in 
ancient literature and from inscriptions.* These, like the statues in 
the Altis, range in date from the seventh century B.C. to the fourth 
A. D., and offer still greater variety in the kinds of dedication. It will 
be best to arrange the list as far as possible chronologically and in 
numerical sequence, adding the authorities for the dates of the various 
victories in the footnotes.° 

1Philinos, son of Hegepolis of Kos (173), won 24 victories, 5 at Olympia, 4 at Delphi, 4 at Nemea, 
11 at the Isthmus, mostly in the or46.0v; he was, therefore, four times zrepiodovixns. He won in 
Ols. 129 and 130 (=264 and 260 B. C.): cf. P., VI, 17.2 and Foerster, 441 and 442; Leonidas of 
Rhodes (111lc) was rptacr#s in the four different Ols. 154-157 (=164-152 B.C.), winning 12 
races: cf. P., VI, 13.4, and Foerster, 495-497, 498-500, 502-504, 507-509. ;

Foerster, pp. 26-30, records the names of 634 Olympic victors who are known to us from all 
available sources. we

of nine Olympic victors are known from various sources. j ba 
6The dating of victories in the present section will necessitate certain repetitions of dates already 
given elsewhere in this work. While heretofore dates have been referred usually to the compila- 
tions of Foerster and Hyde, the original authorities for them will be cited in this section.
