Olympic Victor Monuments and Greek Athletic Art by Walter Woodburn Hyde

[1430] _E. g._, Kalkmann, _Jb._, X, 1895, pp. 46 f., Pl. I and fig. I in text; he defends this view, _ibid._, XI, 1896, pp. 197 f. [1431] To the fifth by Kalkmann, Bulle, Furtwaengler (_Sitzb. Muen. Akad._, 1907, Pt. II, pp. 219-220, = Hadrianic copy), and others; to the fourth by Winter, Collignon, and von Mach; Collignon, II, pp. 359 f., connects it stylistically with the so-called _Ilioneus_ of the Glyptothek, represented in a similar pose (= Furtw.-Wolters, _Beschr._,^2 270; B. B., 432; F. W., 1263), and with the _Hypnos_ in the Prado, Madrid (= Huebner, _Die ant. Bildw. in Madrid_, no. 39; Furtw., _Mw._, pp. 648 f.; Collignon, II, p. 357, fig. 181; F. W., 1287; for small replicas in bronze, see Winnefeld, _Hypnos_, p. 8, n. 2), and assigns all three to the fourth century B. C. and to Skopaic art. Amelung assigns the Subiaco youth to Hellenistic times: _Mus. and Ruins of Rome_, I, fig. 60. [1432] For a list of ten such interpretations, see de Ridder, _Rev. arch._, XXXI, Sér. 3, 1897, p. 265, n. 5; and B. Sauer, Der Knabe von Subiaco, _Festgabe H. Bluemner ueberreicht_, 1914, pp. 143 f., and note 1 on p. 143. [1433] _E. g._, by Bulle; Brizio, _Ausonia_, I, 1906, p. 21; _cf._ Winter, _l. c._; etc. If a Niobid, he was probably wounded in the neck (_cf._ the one in Milan) and formed part of a group. [1434] By Lucas, _Neue Jahrbuecher f. kl. Altertum_, V, 1902, pp. 427 f; _cf._ _Jh. oest. arch. Inst._, IX, 1906, pp. 273 f. [1435] Formerly by G. Koerte, _Jb._, XI, 1896, pp. 11 f.; _cf._ the Pompeian wall-painting, _ibid._, p. 15, fig. 2; he has since given up this view: see Sauer, _l. c._ [1436] De Ridder, _op. cit._, the hands seem to have been placed wrong for this interpretation, though Helbig and Amelung find it possible. [1437] Petersen, _Jb._, XI, 1896, pp. 202 f.; such a motive was unknown to antiquity and is based on the wrong assumption that a marble hand holding a rope-like object, which was found in the same excavations, belongs to the statue: see Helbig, _l. c._ [1438] Sauer, in the publication mentioned, believes the riddle best solved by assuming that the figure formerly was part of a gable group; see the reconstruction (by Luebke), p. 145, fig. 4. He dates it in the second half of the fifth century B. C., contemporary with the _Idolino_. [1439] The fleetness of Ladas was often extolled, especially by late Greek and Roman writers: P, III, 21.1; Plut., _Praecip. ger. reip._, 10; Catullus, LV, 25; Juvenal, XIII, 97; Martial, II, LXXXVI, 8, and XC, 5; Seneca, _Ep._, LXXXV, 4; Solinus, 7; etc. [1440] _A. Pl._, IV, no. 53; here line 3 was added by Jacobs, and line 4 by Benndorf, from two parodies of the epigram in _A. G._, XI, 86 and 119; in the first parody ἄλλος stands for Λάδας and Περικλῆς for κάμνων. See Benndorf, _de anthologiae Graecae Epigrammatis quae ad artes spectant_, Diss. inaug., 1862, pp. 13 f., and Kalkmann, _Jb._, X, 1895, pp. 76-77 and notes. Studniczka (see next note) reads line 4: Λάδας, οἱ δ’ ἄλλοι δάκτυλον οὐ προέβαν. [1441] _A. Pl._, IV, 54. Benndorf corrects the Mss. reading of the last half of l. 2 as νεῦρα ταθεὶς ὄνυχι; others read the whole line: θυνὸν [= δρόμον] ἐπ’ ἀκροτάτῳ σκάμματι θεὶς ὄνυχα. On the two epigrams, see Studniczka, Myron’s Ladas, _Ber. saechs. Gesellsch. d. Wiss., Philolog.-histor. Cl._, 52, 1900, pp. 329 f. (especially pp. 333 f.). [1442] Reading φυσῶν ... θυμόν for φεύγων ... Θῦμον, “flying from wind-footed Thymos,” of Jacobs. On possible readings, see Studniczka, _l. c._, pp. 337 f. [1443] _Sculpt._, p. 69. [1444] See Kalkmann, _op. cit._, pp. 77-8; Reisch, p. 44; _cf._ Gercke, _Jb._, VIII, 1893, p. 115, on the meaning of the words πνεῦμα and ἆσθμα. [1445] _Polyklet u. s. Sch._, p. 17; von Mach, no. 289; B. B., 354. [1446] No. 249, 249 a; he fixes his victory in Ol. (?) 85 (= 440 B. C.), because of the late dating of Myron by Pliny, _H. N._, XXXIV, 49 (_floruit_ Ol. 90 = 420 B. C.: _cf._ Brunn, I, 142 f.); Furtwaengler dated his activity within the first half of the fifth century B. C.: _Mp._, p. 182; Robert provisionally dates the victory of Ladas in Ol. (?) 76 (= 476 B. C.), though he finds that Ols. 80 and 81 (= 460 and 456 B. C.) are possible: see _O. S._, p. 184; here he dates the sculptor (?) 476-444 B. C. [1447] _Cf. infra_, Ch. VIII, p. 365, n. 1. [1448] Helbig, _Fuehrer_, I, nos. 913, 914; _Guide_, 573, 574; _B. Com. Rom._, IV, 1876, Pls. IX-X, pp. 68 f.; B. B., 353 (right and left); Reinach, _Rép._, II, 2, 540, 4, and for the torso, see II, 2, 541, 3 (= _B. Com. Rom._, Pl. XI). [1449] Helbig, 914. [1450] Helbig, 913. [1451] So Furtwaengler, _Mp._, p. 128, n. 1, _Mw._, p. 285, n. 3, and Helbig (3d ed.); on the other hand, Reisch (p. 46), B. B., and formerly Helbig (in the first edition of his _Guide_), have regarded them as wrestlers. [1452] The statuette and relief are pictured in _Mon. ant._, XI, 1901, Pl. XXVI, 2, and pp. 402 f. The statuette also in Arndt-Amelung, _Einzelaufnahmen_, no. 552, and Reinach, _Rép._, II, 2, 540, 6. [1453] _Mp._, pp. 126 f., and fig. 51; _Mw._, pp. 284 f., fig. 38; here the restored parts have been removed and his own restoration is given in an outline drawing. See also B. B., no. 129; Helbig, _Fuehrer_, I, 322; Clarac, 837, 2099. [1454] Mentioned by P., I, 28.2 and I, 25.1; the inscribed base has been found (see Lolling, Ἀρχαιολογικὸν Δελτίον, 1889, p. 35, n. 2). The _Perikles_ is exemplified by two inscribed copies: a terminal bust in London: _B. M. Sculpt._, I, no. 549 and fig. 23 on p. 289; _Ancient Marbles in the British Museum_, 1815, Pl. XXXII; _A. Z._, XXVI, 1868, Pl. II, fig. 1 and pp. 1 f. (Conze); Furtw., _Mp._, pp. 117 f., Pl. VII and fig. 46 (profile); _Mw._, Pl. IX and pp. 270 f.; F. W., 481; a terminal bust in the Vatican: Visconti, _Iconogr. gr._, 1824-26, I, Pl. XV and p. 178; B. B., no. 156; Helbig, _Fuehrer_, I, 276; Arndt-Bruckmann, _Griech. u. roem. Portraets_, 413, 414: Bernouilli, _Griech. Ikonogr._, I, Pl. XI, p. 108; etc. [1455] _H. N._, XXXIV, 74; in this passage Pliny also mentions an _Olympius Pericles_. The Naples statue has been wrongly restored as a gladiator; it is pictured, minus the restorations, in _Mp._, p. 125, fig. 50; _Mw._, p. 282, fig. 37; _cf._ Clarac, 870, 2210 and 872, 2210. Furtwaengler connects this statue with the bronze one of a certain Diitrephes pierced with arrows, which Pausanias saw on the Akropolis, I, 23.3; a basis found there, inscribed with the name Kresilas, supported a votive offering of Hermolykos, the son of Diitrephes, to Athena: _I. G. B._, 46; _C. I. A._, I, 402 (Kirchhoff, who opposes the connection); _cf._ p. 373. The base shows that a figure stood upon it in the pose of another figure, which appears on a white-faced Attic lekythos in the Cab. des Médailles in Paris (_Mp._, p. 124, fig. 48), which Furtwaengler believes a free rendering of the Kresilæan statue.
