Excerpt from Pausanias's Description of Greece, Vol. 4 of 6: Translated With a Commentary 1. I. statues - whether athletes or not. Among the men who, without being athletes, had statues at Olympia, were the soothsayer Thrasybulus (vi. 2. 4); Lysander (vi. 3. 14); the philosopher Aristotle (vi. 4- S) ; Archidamus, King of Sparta (vi. 4. 9); Philip of Macedon, Alexander the Great, Seleucus, and Antigonus (vi. 11. 1 ; vi. 16. 2); Areus, King of Sparta, and Aratus (vi. 12. 5); Pyrrhus, King of Epirus (vi. 14. 9); Hiero, tyrant of Syracuse (vi. 15. 6); Demetrius Poliorcctcs and his son Antigonus (vi. 15. 7); Ptolemy II., Philadelphus (vi. 17. 3); the rhetorician Gorgias (vi. 17. 7), and the historian Anaximenes (vi. 1 S. 1). 1. 1. There are not statues set up of all the Olympic victors. Pliny on the other hand asserts that at Olympia it was the custom to set up statues of all who had won prizes in the games (Nal. hist. xxxiv. 16). The truth seems to have been that every victorious althlete received permission from the Eleans to set up a statue of himself (cp. Paus. vi. 3. 6, vi. 13. 9); but that, as all the expense and trouble of making, transporting, and setting up the statue had to be borne by the athlete or his friends (cp. Paus. vi. 8. 3, vi. 14. 6), many athletes were prevented by poverty, death, or other cause from availing themselves of the permission. Sec Dittenberger and Purgold, Die Inschriften von Olympia, p. 235 sq. Pliny further tells us {I.e.) that only those athletes who had won three victories were allowed to set up portrait-statues of themselves. If he is right, the statues of the others would seem to have been made after a general pattern or a few such patterns, without any individual likeness to the men in whose honour they were set up. But to the rule laid down by Pliny there seems to have been occasionally at least an exception, since we hear of a competitor (Xenombrotus by name) who had a portrait-statue of himself set up at Olympia after a single victory in the horse-race (Die Inschriften von Olympia, No. 170: see note on vi. 14. 12). No statue of a victor might be larger than life (Lucian, Pro imaginibus, 1 1), but this rule would seem not to have been rigidly enforced (see note on vi. 6. 1 Callias of Athens'). Cp. Chr. Scherer, De Olympionicarum statuis (Gottingen, 1SS5), p. 9 sqq. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
