Olympic Victor Monuments and Greek Athletic Art by Walter Woodburn Hyde

6. Kimon, the son of Stesagoras, of Athens.[2455] Aelian mentions αἱ

Κίμωνος ἵπποι χαλκαῖ, very true to the originals, in Athens,[2456] which seem to have been set up in honor of his three chariot victories at Olympia. His first victory was won when he was in banishment at the hands of the tyrant Peisistratos, son of Hippokrates. Having entered his horses under the tyrant’s name for the second contest, he was in consequence recalled, and a third time entered them and won under his own name.[2457] The pseudo-Andokides confuses this older Kimon with the younger, when he calls the latter an Olympic victor.[2458] Similarly a scholiast on Aristophanes[2459] confuses him with Megakles, who won a victory τεθρίππῳ in Ol. 47 (= 592 B. C.).[2460]
