[1580] _Cf._ also two very rude bronzes in the British Museum representing diskoboloi: _B. M. Bronzes_, nos. 502 (diskos held up in right hand), 504 (diskos in right hand), the first 3.37 inches tall, the other 4.87 inches; the latter has a fillet in the hair and so represents a victor.

[1581] _B. M. Bronzes_, no. 559; _J. H. S._, _l. c._, p. 17, fig. 6. As the whole lebes is only 18.5 inches tall, this lid figure is very small.

[1583] Published by H. G. E. White in _J. H. S._, XXXVI, 1916, pp. 16 f., Pls. I, II and 3 figs, in text. Pl. I is the more archaic: Museum no. 6615; _Arch. Eph._, 1883, p. 86; Staïs, _Marbres et Bronzes_, p. 267; de Ridder, pp. 281-2, no. 757, and fig. 265. Pl. II is the less archaic: Museum no. 6614; _Arch. Eph._, 1883, p. 46; _J. H. S._, X, 1889, pp. 268-9 (E. A. Gardiner); Staïs, _op. cit._, p. 267; de Ridder, pp. 275-7, no. 750, and fig. 257.

[1584] Pliny, _H. N._, VII, 201, traces its origin to Aetolus, son of Mars. Phrastor won a victory in such a contest at Olympia: Pindar, _Ol._, X, 71. See Krause, pp. 465 f.; Juethner, pp. 36 f.; Gardiner, Ch. XVI, pp. 338 f.; _id._, _J. H. S._, XXVII, 1907, pp. 258 f.; Dar-Sagl., I, 1, pp. 226 f.; Pauly-Wissowa, I, pp. 1183 f. (Reisch); Girard, _L’éduc. athén._, pp. 203 f.; Grasberger, _Erziehung und Unterricht_, I, pp. 327 f., and III, pp. 168 f.; etc. In the following account we are chiefly indebted to Juethner and Gardiner.

[1585] See Stassoff _apud_ Stephani, _Comptes rendus de la comm. impér. archaéol._, St. Petersburg, 1872, p. 302. _Cf._ Juethner, _Ph._, p. 64.

[1586] Iliad, XXIII, 884 f.; _cf._ 637.

[1587] The athletic style appears on many vases, especially on r.-f. ones; see _infra_, pp. 223-4 and notes.

[1588] The javelin is held horizontally by the warrior on the interior of a b.-f. kylix in the British Museum: _B. M. Vases_, B 380; _J. H. S._, XXVII, p. 252, fig. 2; Gardiner, p. 342, fig. 93. It was commonly held slopingly over the shoulder level with the head in representations of the athletic style; _e. g._, the second athlete from the left in the sixth-century B. C. b.-f. Panathenaic amphora in the British Museum (Fig. 44): _B. M. Vases_, B 134; _cf._ also a similar figure on the sixth-century B. C. amphora in Leyden: _A. Z._, XXXIX, 1881, Pl. IX; Gardiner, p. 361, fig. 108.

[1589] At Athens as early as the fifth century B. C. there were practical javelin contests from horseback with a target, and such contests kept up in Thessaly to the time of Hadrian: Gardiner, pp. 356-8. Throwing the javelin at a target from horseback is seen on a Panathenaic amphora in the British Museum: Gardiner, p. 357, fig. 106; _J. H. S._, XXVII, Pl. XX. Pindar mentions javelin-throwing three times, and in each case the throw was for distance: _Nem._, VII, 70-1; _Isthm._, II, 35; _Pyth._, I, 44. Lucian, in a passage referring to the pentathlon at Olympia, says that athletes competed for distance: _Anacharsis_, 27. On this question, see Juethner, pp. 54 f.

[1590] Hesychios calls it ἀποτομάς, _s. v._; see also Pollux, X, 64.

[1591] _A. Z._, XLI, 1883, Pl. XIII, 2, and _cf._ p. 228 (Milchhoefer).

[1592] See Juethner, figs. 34, 35, 36 on pp. 40-41 (representing akontistai holding the javelin in one hand and the _amentum_ in the other). Fastening the thong is commonly depicted on vases: _e. g._, a youth seated on the ground attaching the _amentum_ is pictured on a r.-f. hydria in the British Museum: _B. M. Vases_, E 164; _J. H. S._, XXVII, p. 32, fig. 25; Gardiner, p. 334, fig. 88; _B. C. H._, XXIII, 1899, p. 164, fig. 3; on a r.-f. kylix in Wuerzburg (no. 432), a youth is seen winding the _amentum_ around the akontion, drawing one end of the thong tight by means of his left foot: Juethner, p. 42, fig. 37; Gardiner, p. 340, fig. 91; Dar.-Sagl., III, 1, p. 599, fig. 4116; Hoppin, _Hbk. Attic r.-f. Vases_, I, p. 93, no. 7. On a r.-f. amphora from Vulci attributed to Euthymides, and now in the British Museum, we see an akontistes holding the spear pointed to the ground and drawing the _amentum_ tight preparatory to the throw: _B.

Pausanias, I, 39.3, says that the systematic instruction in the art began with Theseus. Eustathius, schol. on _Il._, XXIII, p. 1327, says that Kerkyon discovered it. In a scholion on Pindar, _Nem._, V, 49, Boeckh, p. 465, Pherekydes and Polemon are quoted as saying that Theseus’ charioteer Phorbas invented the art, and Istros is quoted as saying that Athena taught Theseus. At Olympia Herakles was a victor in wrestling: P., V, 8.4.

[1626] Ajax (Telamon) and Odysseus contended in a wrestling bout which ended in a draw: Il., XXIII, 710-734; in line 701, and in Od., VIII, 126, it is called παλαισμοσύνη ἀλεγεινή; it appears among the Phaiakians in Od., VIII, 103, 246.

[1695] The word μύρμηκες, _A. G._, XI, 78, may be merely a comic name for the gloves—certain protuberances (“metal studs” or “nails” = Liddell and Scott, _s. v._ looking like warts (μυρμηκίαι); _cf._ Pollux, III, 150.

[1699] _Mus. Journ._, VI, no. 4 (Dec., 1915), p. 169, fig. 89; text by Dr. S. B. Luce, who believes this class of vases to be a prototype of the “Nolan” vases; another “Nolan” amphora is given, _ibid._, fig. 90 (also published in _A. J. A._, XX, 1916, p. 440, fig. 4), which shows a diskobolos, who is holding a diskos in a way similar to that on a r.-f. kelebe in the British Museum (_B. M. Vases_, B 361; Gardiner, p. 324, fig. 77). On the division of Attic b.-f. amphoræ into “panel-amphoræ” and “red-bodied amphoræ,” see H. B. Walters, _Hist. Anc. Pottery, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman_, 1905, I, pp. 160-62.

[1700] _Inschr. v. Ol._, 149.

[1701] _Inschr. v. Ol._, 155 (renewed); the date of the victory is given by P., VI, 7.8; Hyde, 65; Foerster, 263.

[1702] _Inschr. v. Ol._, 147, 148. The statue stood equally on both feet, the left being slightly advanced. He won in Ol. 77 (= 472 B. C.): _Oxy. Pap._; P., VI, 10.9; Hyde, 102; Foerster, 237.

[1703] _Inschr. v. Ol._, 165 (renewed); base drawn in outline in Furtw., _Mp._, p. 288, fig. 123; _Mw._, p. 503, fig. 90. He won in Ol. 82 (= 452 B. C.): _Oxy. Pap._; P., VI, 13.6; Hyde, 115; Foerster, 376. Here the body weight rested upon the left foot, the right being flat on the ground and turned to one side, _i. e._, in the old scheme of Hagelaïdas and his school.

[1704] _Inschr. v. Ol._, 159 (renewed); _I. G. B._, 86. This statue was in the same attitude as that of Aristion and was slightly over life-size. He won some time between Ols. (?) 90 and 93 (= 420 and 408 B. C.): P., VI, 6.2; Hyde, 52; Foerster, 297.

[1705] Michaelis, p. 446, no. 35; Clarac V, 946, 2436 A (wrongly = Antinous). See Furtw., _Mp._, pp. 288 f. (and fig. 124); _Mw._, pp. 503 f. (and fig. 91). Height 1.75 meters (Michaelis).

[1706] Furtw., _Mp._, p. 246, fig. 99; _Mw._, p. 447, fig. 69; a headless copy in Lansdowne House: Michaelis, p. 438, 3; Clarac, V, 851, 2180 A. Here the present head is of different marble from the torso and does not belong to it; the body forms recall those of the _Doryphoros_. It is 1.49 meters high.

[1711] Pl., _H. N._, XXXIV, 50 and 79. For this view, see text to B. B., no. 614. Furtwaengler had suggested Lykios as the sculptor of the _Oil-pourer_: _Mp._, p. 259.

[1712] Though winning in Ol. 65 (= 520 B. C.), his statue was set up later by his son: P., VI, 10.1-3; Hyde, 93 and p. 42; Foerster, 137. The word σκιαμαχεῖν (lit. “to fight in the shade,” and hence to practice in the gymnasium) is used synonymously with χειρονομεῖν in the sense “to spar:” Plato, _de Leg._, VIII, 830 C; P., VI, 10.3; Pollux, III, 150; etc. _Cf._ Paul’s phrase in _I Corinthians_, 9, 26. A derived meaning is “to fight with a shadow”: _e. g._, Plato, _Apol._, 18 D; etc. Dio Chrysostom, _Or._, XXXII (367 M), speaks of χειρονομοῦντες as gymnasium practisers. See Krause, pp. 510 f.

[1713] The κώρυκος was such a bag used by athletes: _cf._ the proverb, πρὸς κώρυκον γυμνάζεσθαι, “to labor in vain”: Diog., 7, 54. The Ficoroni cista has been mentioned _supra_, p. 237, n. 4. The description and use of the bag are given by Ph., 57.

[1715] Amelung, _Vat._, I, 372 B, pp. 554-5 and Pl. LVIII; Clarac, 883, 2256. It is 0.535 meter high.

[1716] _Beschr._, no. 469; Overbeck, _Griech. Kunstmyth._, III, _Apollon_, pp. 218 f. and fig. 14 (restored), interpreted the torso as that of an Apollo; but the Phrygian coin there pictured (Muenztafel, IV, 31), of the time of Lucius Verus, may merely show that the motive later was transferred to the god.

[1717] _Bronzen v. Ol._, Textbd., pp. 21-2; Tafelbd., Pl. VIII, no. 57. It is only 0.112 meter high.

[1719] _J. H. S._, I, 1880, p. 199. See B. B., no. 51; F. W., 89; etc. Theagenes won in Ols. 75, 76 (= 480, 476 B. C.): _Oxy. Pap._; P., VI, 11.2 f.; Hyde, 104; Foerster, 191, 196.

[1720] _Inschr. v. Ol._, 168. He won some time between Ols. (?) 99 and 103 (= 384 and 368 B. C.): P., VI, 4.1; Hyde, 36; Foerster, 419.

[1721] _Inschr. v. Ol._, 158; _I. G. B._, 98; he won some time between Ols. (?) 95 and 100 (= 400 and 380 B. C.): P., VI, 6.3; Hyde, 54; Foerster, 319.

[1722] _Inschr. v. Ol._, 186; _I. G. B._, 176. He won two victories in boxing some time between Ols. (?) 144 and 147 (= 204 and 192, B. C.): P., VI, 15.6; Hyde, 147; Foerster, 510, 512 (who dates the artist toward the middle of the second century B. C.; but I have followed the earlier dating of Hiller von Gaertringen, _Woch. f. kl. Philol._, X, 1893, p. 856, which date has been accepted by Dittenberger).

[1725] See Hyde, _de olymp. Stat._, pp. 39-41. There Ol. 80 or 84 (= 460 or 444 B. C.) has been suggested for the original victory.

[1726] Philippos won some time between Ols. (?) 119 and 125 (= 304 and 280 B. C.): Hyde, 79 a.

[1727] Hitz.-Bluemn., II, 2, p. 575, in discussing my solution of the difficulty, call it “_sinnreich, aber doch ungemein kompliziert_,” and the assumption that a victor would use an older statue of a fellow countryman to celebrate his own victory “_sehr bedenklich_.”

[1731] Furtwaengler sees in this statue a work by Pythagoras: _Mp._, p. 171 f.; _Mw._, pp. 345 f.; Brizio, _l. c._, ascribes it to Hagelaïdas.

[1742] _De Leg._, VIII, 832 E; 834 A.

[1743] Older writers, _e. g._, Faber, _Agonisticon_ (published in 1592), I, 9, p. 1828, thought that the glove was used, an opinion long ago refuted by Krause, I, p. 539, n. 2. Waldstein, _J. H. S._, I, 1880, p. 185, wrongly says that the pancratiast sometimes wore gloves. Pausanias does not mention them, nor do we see them on any of the vase-paintings.

[1744] VI, 6.5.

[1745] VI, 15.5. _Cf._ also V, 17.10, where, in describing the boxing match between Admetos and Mopsos represented on the chest of Kypselos, he says οἱ δὲ ἀποτετολμηκότες πυκτεύειν—a hint of the dangerous character of boxing.

[1753] Collected by Gardiner, _op. cit._

[1754] Described by Lucian, _Anachar._, I.

[1755] This throw is depicted on the walls of the tombs of Beni-Hasan on the Nile and is practised to-day by the Japanese; it is described by Dio Cassius, LXXI, 7.

[1756] Κλιμακισμός: described by Soph., _Trachiniae_, 520 f., and the schol.; see also Ovid, _Met._, IX, 51. _Cf._ _J. H. S._, XXVI, 1906, pp. 15-16.

[1760] Mentioned by Plato, _Alcibiades_, I, 107 E; Ph., 50; Pollux, III, 150; Suidas, _s. v._ ἀκροχειρίζεσθαι and _s. v._ Σώστρατος; Lucian, _Lexiphanes_, 5; _de Saltatione_, 10; Reisch, _ap._ Pauly-Wissowa, I, p. 1197; Hitz.-Bluemn., II, 2, p. 548; Grasberger, _Erziehung und Unterricht_, I, pp. 349-50; Krause, I, pp. 421 f., 510 f.; _J. H. S._, XXVI, pp. 13-15, where Gardiner discusses the word in ancient writers and concludes that it had nothing to do with wrestling, but only with boxing (both the separate event and part of the pankration), and meant “to spar lightly with an opponent for practice.”

[1761] He won three victories in Ols. (?) 104, (?) 105, and 106 (= 364-356 B. C.): P., VI, 4.1; Hyde, 37; Foerster, 349, 353, 359. This explanation of Pausanias has been accepted by Krause and most modern authorities, but is found untenable by Gardiner, who bases his interpretation, not on Pausanias, but on the accurate definition of Suidas.

[1762] _B. C. H._, VI, 1882, pp. 446 f.

[1763] He won in Ols. 81 and 82 (= 456 and 452 B. C.): _Oxy. Pap._; P., VI, 4.3; Hyde, 38; Foerster, 202, 203; _cf._ Pliny, _H. N._, XXXIV, 59. He was probably merely represented in the preliminary tactics of getting a grip.

[1774] This explanation has been followed by Treu, _Bildw. v. Ol._, _l. c._; Sittl, _Parerga zur alten Kunstgesch._, p. 24; Klein, II, pp. 362 f.; Jex-Blake, p. 235; and others.

[1776] _Collection Somzée_, 1897, Pls. 3-5; see Hyde, to no. 50, on p. 8. Its quiet and reserved pose recalls that of the _Pelops_ of the East gable of the temple of Zeus at Olympia (_Bildw. v. Ol._, Tafelbd., Pl. IX, 2; Textbd., pp. 46 f.). Because of its archaic grace, though it shows no trace of archaic stiffness, it might even be referred to the school of Kritios and Nesiotes.

[1777] _Inschr. v. Ol._, 153; _I. G. B._, 29. He won the pankration in Ols. 87, 88, 89 (= 432-424 B. C.); P., VI, 7.1; Hyde, 61; Foerster, 258, 260, 262.
