374 POSITIONS OF VICTOR STATUES IN THE ALTIS. 
SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
We have found, then, from the literary sources examined, that there 
are at least 44 Olympic victors, to whom a total of 47 monuments were 
erected outside Olympia.1. These monuments were of various kinds 
—1 inscribed tablet, 1 Pindaric ode engrossed on a temple wall, 3 
temples or shrines, 37 statues (one of them apparently iconic), bronze 
horses (?quadriga), and 4 dedications which are not further described. 
Thus the bulk of these monuments, as of those at Olympia, consisted 
of statues. Of the 29 monuments erected to 27 victors in the pre- 
Christian centuries, 3 were dedicated in the seventh,? 4 in the sixth, 
13 (to 11 victors) in the fifth, 1 in the fifth or fourth, 6 in the fourth,’ 
1 in the fourth or third, and 1 in the third. ‘There is no record of 
such a dedication in the second and first centuries B.C. Of the 14 
monuments erected to 13 victors known to belong to the post-Chris- 
tian centuries, 4 (to 3 victors) belong to the first, 5 to the second, 3 
to the third and 2 to the fourth; 4 others were set up to 4 victors 
whose dates can not be determined. Of other monuments mentioned 
(though not included in our figures) 3 may or may not have been 
erected to Olympic victors. We find that the greatest number of 
dedications was made in the fifth century B.C., just as we found was 
the case in regard to those at Olympia.* Of these victors, 10 also 
had monuments at Olympia. ‘The total number of Olympic victor 
monuments, therefore, at Olympia and elsewhere of which we have 
record, amounts to 302.° 


1Three victors, Ladas (no. 11), Agias (no. 14), and Sarapion (no. 30), had two statues each. 
Theagenes (no. 10) had several, according to Pausanias, who, however, mentions only one 
definitely. We have omitted from our total the statue set up by T. Phlabios Artemidoros (28a) 
to his father. 
2We have here included the tablet of Chionis at Sparta (no. 1), a victor of the seventh century 
B. C., whose monument, however, was erected in the fifth century B. C. 
3Including the two Lysippan statues of Agias, a victor of the fifth century, B. C. 
4Of the 192 monuments referred to 187 victors mentioned by Pausanias in his victor periegesis 
at Olympia, only 153, belonging to 148 victors, can be exactly or approximately dated. Of these, 
33 monuments (referred to 32 victors) belong to the epoch prior to the approximate date of the 
founding of the temple of Zeus, 7. ¢., prior to Ol. 77 (=472 B. C.); 51 monuments (referred to 50 
victors) from this date on, to the approximate date of the battle of Aigospotamoi (B. C. 404), 
1. €., down to Ol. 93 (=408 B. C.); 36 monuments (referred to 34 victors) from then on, to about 
the time of the birth of Alexander the Great, 7. ¢., to Ol. 106 (=356 B. C.); and 33 monuments 
(referred to 32 victors) from that date, to the close of the description of the athlete periegests, 1. ¢., 
from Ols. 107 to 149 (=352 to 184 B.C.). See Hyde, op. cit., Ch. IV, pp. 72 sq., and supra, 
pp. 352-3. (Inmy victor lists, op. cit., pp. 3-24, I have enumerated 188 victors; however, Philon 
of Kerkyra is listed twice, nos. 91 and 136, for two different statues.) Of these 153 monuments, 
nearly one-half (7. ¢., 74) belong properly to the fifth century (Ols. 70 to 94 = 500 te 404 B. C.). 
*Pausanias mentions 192 (referred to 187 victors, as above); we have found in the present 
chapter that 63 others (referred to 61 victors) are known from inscribed base fragments found at 
Olympia; and that 47 (referred to 44 victors) are known from literary sources as having stood 
elsewhere. If we deduct 10 victors who had monuments both at Olympia and elsewhere, we 
have a grand total of 282 victors, in whose honor these 302 monuments of various kinds were 
erected.
