Olympic Victor Monuments and Greek Athletic Art by Walter Woodburn Hyde

45. The word ὠτοκάταξις seems to have meant a boxer whose ears were

battered by the gloves: Aristoph., _Fragm._, 72; Pollux, II, 83 (whence Dindorf corrects the form ὠτοκαταξίας in Poll., IV, 144). For references, see Krause, I, pp. 516-17; and _cf._ _J. H. S._, XXVI, p. 13. [1249] _E. g._, on a fragment of a red-figured kylix in Berlin: _J. H. S._, XXVI, p. 8, fig. 2; Hartwig, _Die griech. Meisterschalen_, Textbd., p. 90, fig. 12; Gardiner, p. 438, fig. 153. Here one of the contestants in the pankration is bleeding at the nose. [1250] _B. C. H._, XXIII, 1899, pp. 455; _cf._, p. 457, where he speaks of _le detail réaliste de l’oreille tuméfiée par les coups_. For the statue of Agias mentioned, see _infra_, Ch. VI, pp. 286 f., and Pl. 28 and fig. 68. _Cf._ on this subject also Neugebauer, Studien ueber Skopas (in _Beitraege zur Kunstgesch._, XXXIX, 1913, p. 35, n. 172). [1251] _Bronz. v. Ol._, Tafelbd., IV, Pl. II, 2, 2 a; F. W., 323; etc. [1252] See _infra_, Ch. VI., pp. 293 f. [1253] _Fouilles de Delphes_, IV, Pls. LXIII-LXIV. [1254] _Ant. Denkm._, I, 1, 1886, Pl. IV. [1255] Duetschke, III, no. 72. [1256] _Gaz. arch._, VIII, Pl. I, and p. 85 (Rayet); F. W., 461. [1257] B. B., no. 8. [1258] Bulle, no. 105 (right); and fig. 46 on p. 205. [1259] _A. M._, XVI, 1891, Pls. IV, V (two views). [1260] F. W., 505; Collignon, I, p. 495, fig. 252. As the swollen ears do not occur on other copies, they are here doubtless a modification by a late artist. [1261] _La Glypt. Ny-Carlsberg_, Pl. XXXVI (= copy of fifth century B. C.); XCIV (Herakles or athlete, from the Tyszkiewicz coll., Skopasian in character; = Reinach, _Têtes_, Pls. CL, CLI); XCV (similar to preceding, though later in style: _Têtes_, Pls. CLVI, CLVII); CXX (copy of head of athlete of the fourth century B. C.). [1262] _Cat. Class. Coll._, pp. 228 f.; fig. 141 on p. 231. Miss Richter points out its affinity to the _Hermes_ and assigns it to the immediate influence of Praxiteles. This fragment of a statue appears to have been trimmed into its present shape in modern times. Miss Richter’s statement (p. 230) that swollen ears are a characteristic which applies in representations of heroes to Herakles alone is contradicted by what we shall say below about heads of Diomedes. [1263] Rayet, II, Pls. 64, 65 (head); B. B., 75; von Mach, 286; F. W., 1425; M. W., I, Pl. 48, 216; Reinach, _Rép._, I, 154, 1-4. Rayet calls the statue that of a hoplitodromos. [1264] Brunn, _Sitzb. Muen. Akad._, 1892, pp. 651 f.; Furtw.-Wolters, _Beschr. d. Glypt._^2, no. 304; B. B., 128 (left = original; right = cast); Furtw., _Mp._, p. 147, fig. 60 (from a cast with modern restorations omitted), and p. 150, fig. 61 (head, two views); text, pp. 146 ff.; _Mw._, Pls. XII, XIII; text, pp. 311 f.; Clarac, 871, 2219 and 633, 1438 A.; Gardner, _Sculpt._, Pl. XVII (cast). Its Kresilæan origin has been shown by Brunn (_l. c._, pp. 660 and 673), Flasch (_Vortraege an der 41sten Philologenversamml._, 1891, p. 9, quoted by Furtwaengler), Loeschke and Studniczka (quoted by Furtwaengler) and Furtwaengler. It also shows Myronic traces. It stands 1.86 meters (without the base). [1265] Furtw., _Mp._, p. 151, fig. 62; _Mw._, Pl. XIV and p. 313. This and a head in private possession in England, B. B., 543 (three views), are the best and truest copies of the lost original. [1266] Froehner, _Notice_, 128; Bouillon, _Musée des antiques_ (statues), Pls. II and III; Clarac, 314, 1438. [1267] Duetschke, II, no. 163; Amelung, _Fuehrer_, 210; B. B., 361; F. W., 458. It will be discussed further on in Ch. IV, pp. 180 f. The Berlin replica is given in _Mp._, p. 167, fig. 67; _cf._ text, p. 165, n. 2. [1268] Roscher, _Lex._, I, 2, p. 2163, fig.; Furtwaengler, _Mp._, p. 155, n. 2. [1269] _R. M._, IV, 1889, P. 197, no. 12 (B. Graef). [1270] _B. M. Sculpt._, III, 1731, and Pl. V, fig. 2; _Marbles and Bronzes_, Pl. XXI; _Museum Marbles_, II, Pl. XLVI; _Specimens_, I, Pl. LX; Collignon, II, p. 240, fig. 120; Wolters, _Jb._, I, 1886, Pl. V, fig. 2 and p. 54. Two other copies of the same original are the one in the Capitoline Museum, Rome, and one found in 1876 on the Quirinal and now in the Palazzo dei Conservatori there. B. Graef, _R. M._, IV, 1889, p. 189 f, and Pls. VIII (Capitoline bust) and IX (Quirinal bust), attributes the type to Skopas; he is followed by Collignon, II, p. 240, n. 1; _cf._ S. Reinach, _Gaz. d. B-A._, 3d Per., III, 1890, pp. 338 and
