OLYMPIC VICTOR MONUMENTS ERECTED OUTSIDE OLYMPIA. 373 
Akropolis at Athens (I, 23.10). This was probably Hermolykos the 
pancratiast, who is recorded by Herodotos as having. distinguished 
himself at the battle of Mykale in 479 B. C., and as having been after- 
wards killed in battle at Kyrnos in Euboia and buried at Geraistos.! 
Some scholars have advocated the theory that the portrait statue here 
mentioned by Pausanias was none other than the statue which stood on 
the Akropolis on the base which was discovered in 1839, dedicated by 
Hermolykos, the son of Diitrephes, the work of the sculptor Kresilas,” 
and that the Periegete mistook the latter for the one mentioned by Hero- 
dotos.2 However, Frazer finds this explanation ‘arbitrary and highly 
improbable,” and believes that the base in question supported the 
statue of Diitrephes, pierced with arrows, also mentioned by Pausanias 
(I, 23.3). Kirchhoff distinguished not only the statue of Hermolykos 
mentioned by Pausanias and the dedication of Hermolykos revealed by 
the recovered base, but both of these from the statue of the wounded 
man mentioned by Pliny (H. N., XXXIV, 74). While J. Six assumed 
that Hermolykos, son of Diitrephes, dedicated the Kresilzan statue in 
honor of his grandfather Hermolykos, son of Euthoinos, and that Pau- 
sanias wrongly gathered from the inscribed base that the statue repre- 
sented Diitrephes,®> Furtwaengler believed that Duitrephes was the older 
warrior of the name, mentioned by Thukydides,® and that Pausanias, 
who knew nothing of him, wrongly connected his statue with the 
younger one of that name.’ : 
3. Isokrates, son of Theodoros, of Athens. The pseudo-Plutarch 
mentions a bronze statue of Isokrates, in the form of a 7rats KeAnTiCwr, 
on the Athenian Akropolis.2 As the orator was born in 436 B.C., 
his youthful victory among the horse-racers must have occurred about 
420 B.C.

with the statue of the Volneratus deficiens mentioned by Pliny, H. N., XXXIV, 74. See supra, 
p. 199. However, the Jettering is not later than 444 B.C., while Diitrephes is known to have 
been living as late as 411: Thukyd., VIII, 64.

8Vit. X Orat., IV (Isokrates), 42, (p. 839.c.) It was in the ball-court of the Arrephoroi. The 
same author, IV, 41, (839b), also mentions a bronze statue (with inscription) of Isokrates set 
up by the orator’s adopted son Aphareus. See supra, pp. 24 and 281. I assume that these two 
passages refer to one and the same monument.
