362 POSITIONS OF VICTOR STATUES IN THE ALTIS. 
Victors with monuments of the seventh century B. C.: ) 
1. Chionis, of Sparta. Besides his statue by Myron and the tablet 
containing a list of his victories at Olympia mentioned by Pausanias 
(VI, 13.2), the same writer records a similar tablet in Sparta, erected 
near the royal tomb of the Agids, likewise set up by his townspeople 
(III, 14.3). The Spartan tablet, like the monuments in his honor at 
Olympia, was doubtless set up long after the victory, about Ols. 77. 
or 78 (=4/72 or 468 B.C.). 
2. Kylon, of Athens.? Pausanias records that a bronze statue of 
this victor stood upon the Athenian Akropolis, erected, as he supposes, 
in honor of his beauty and reputation as an Olympic victor (I, 28.1). 
Kylon was the leader of the well-known conspiracy of 632 B. C., when 
he tried to make himself tyrant of Athens.’ Furtwaengler has pro- 
posed the theory that this monument was not set up in honor of Kylon 
by the Athenians, as Pausanias says, but that it was a dedication by 
his family after his Olympic victory. A. Schaefer,® however, more 
justly believed that the statue was an expiatory offering for the massa- 
cre of Kylon’s companions on the Akropolis,® set up in the time of Peri- 
kles, the date of which would account for the “beauty” of the statue. 
Still another scholar’ believes that Pausanias’ remark was called forth 
by the epigram on the statue.® 
3. Hipposthenes, of Sparta. Pausanias records that a temple was 
dedicated to him in Sparta, where he received divine worship (III, 15.7). 
It has been argued that the words of Pausanias (/. c.) show that Hip- 
posthenes here was worshiped only in the character of Poseidon, 
whose epithet was immuos (cf. P., I, 30.4).1° 
Of the sixth century B. C.: 
4. Hetoimokles, son of Hipposthenes of Sparta.4! Pausanias men- 
tions a statue of this victor at Sparta (III, 13.9). 
1Chionis, (= Charmis in Afr.), according to P., III, 14.3, won seven victories at Olympia: four in 
the o7dd.0r, in Ols. 28 to 31 (=668 to 656 B. C.); 1-4=Afr.; 1=P., IV, 23.4; 2=IV, 23.10; 
3=VIII, 39.3; three in the diavdos, probably in Ols. (?) 29-31: see Rutgers, p. 11, n. 4, and 
pp. 10-11; Hyde, 111 and p. 48; Foerster, 39, 41-46.

278 f., and n. 2, agrees with Furtwaengler, and thinks that it was set up long after the death of 
Kylon, and that it is possible that the name of the conspirator became mixed with that of an 
Athenian victor of the same name, but of later date.

victories, and so at the beginning of the sixth century B. C. Rutgers, pp. 109 f., conjectures. 
that the first victory was réAn raldwy; Foerster, 86-90.
