STATISTICS OF OLYMPIC VICTOR STATUARIES. 375 
STATISTICS OF OLYMPIC VICTOR STATUARIES. 
In conclusion, we shall briefly summarize the number and dates of 
the sculptors of Olympic victor monuments who are known to us from 
all sources.1_ Pausanias names 52 such sculptors, who made 102 of the 
192 monuments listed by him. Of the 42 “honor” statues erected in 
the Altis to 35 men, Pausanias mentions only two sculptors, Lysippos, 
who also appears among the victor statuaries, and Mikon of Syracuse, 
who does not.? Pliny names 24, or nearly one-half of the athlete 
sculptors mentioned by Pausanias.2 No new name of an artist appears 
either on the inscribed bases found at Olympia and referred to the 
monuments recorded by Pausanias, or on the 63 bases discovered 
there, which can not be so referred. Of the 52 sculptors known to us 
from Pausanias and inscriptions, the dates can be assigned definitely 
or approximately thus: of the seventh century B. C., none; of the sixth 
century B.C., second half, 2; end, 2; of the end of the sixth and begin- 
ning of the fifth centuries B. C., 1; of the fifth century B.C., first half, 9; 
middle, 4; second half, 3; end, 2; of the fourth century B. C., first half, 
11; middle, 1; second half, 2; end, 3; of the end of the fourth and 
beginning of the third centuries B.C., 3; of the third century B.C., 
rst half, 1; second half, 1; end, 2; of the end of the third and beginning 
of the second centuries B. C., 1; of the second century B. C., first half, 2. 
No sculptor is named who lived certainly later than the second century 
B.C. In addition to these results, 1 sculptor can be assigned only 
roughly to the period subsequent to Alexander the Great, and the epoch 
of still another can not be determined. Of the 37 statues listed above 
as erected to Olympic victors outside Olympia—~. e., the major portion 
of the whole number of 47 monuments of various sorts set up in honor 
of 44 victors—the names of only four artists are known. Three of 
these—Myron, Pythagoras of Rhegion, and Lysippos—also worked at 
Olympia. The name, therefore, of only one new sculptor, Kaphisias 
of Bceotia, who lived in the fourth century B.C., can be added from 
this source, which makes the grand total of victor statuaries known 
to us 53. 
1See Hyde, pp. v—vi, for an alphabetic list of sculptors mentioned by Pausanias, or known from 
the recovered bases of statues at Olympia. See supra, p. 339, n. 1, end. 
2Lysippos made two statues honoris causa for Pythes, son of Andromachos, of Abdera: P., VI, 
14.12; Hyde, 134a. Mikon made two statues for King Hiero of Syracuse, one represented on foot 
and the other on horseback, which I have classed as “‘honor”’ statues: P., VI, 12.2; Hyde, 105a. 
- Allthe “honor” statues at Olympia named by Pausanias are listed in the work cited, on p. v. 
3H. N., Bk. XXXIV, passim. One other sculptor, Kratinos, named by Pausanias, is noted by 
Pliny as a painter only: 1bid., XX XV, 140 and 147.
