Extract

In 1920 Ernst Langlotz proposed a scheme for dating Greek vases in terms of absolute and not merely relative chronology. His monograph was entitled Zur Zeitbestimmung der strengrotfigurigen Vasenmalerei und der gleichzeitigen Plastik and was dedicated to his teacher Franz Studniczka. Studniczka's own essay, ‘Zur Zeitbestimmung der Vasenmalerei mit roten Figuren’ had itself represented a landmark in the chronological study of Greek vase painting. As Langlotz's title suggests, he thought it possible to derive a dating system for Greek vases based on stylistic comparisons between the medium of Greek vase-painting and that of sculpture. The Siphnian Treasury, the Marathon Tumulus, and the Persian sack of Athens, however, provided the only supposedly fixed points in Langlotz's framework. He therefore sought other evidence which would link vase-painting to the known facts of Greek history and decided to develop Studniczka's investigation of the extent to which the subjects of kalos-inscriptions possessed an independent historical identity.

It is conceivable that Phayllos himself may have thus drawn some good athletes away from the competition so that Astylos (if he had not already transferred his allegiance before the Games of 484) decided to cast his lot with a city not mobilising for Salamis and with a patron willing to sponsor him before he became too long in the tooth to win. Elis would at any rate have been glad to have a ‘big-name’ competitor since her revenue and prestige depended in no small measure on the successful conduct of the Games.

210. The presence of a Cean youth is perhaps significant. Ceos contributed to the Greek fleet at Salamis (the islanders are included in the list on the Serpent Column); those beneath military age seem to have been free to compete at Olympia.

211. Moretti (n. 204) 74-5, 76, 85, 87, 104, gives the relevant facts There were in fact two Olympic victors named Theopompus, and they were the son and grandson respectively of Damaratus of Heraea who was victor twice in the hoplitodrome event in 520 and 516. Theopompus (II) won the wrestling twice and his victories have to be after 444 when the information from P. Oxy. 222 ceases Theopompus (I) cannot have been a victor after 480, again on account of P. Oxy. 222, and Moretti consequently placed him as late in the period before 480 as he could. On the evidence Moretti presents, Theopompus (I) could have won his victories at many Olympiads between 504 and 480 so that there is no reason to suppose that our hypothesis regarding Leagros' victory in 480 is contradicted by Theopompus' prior claim.

The aryballos and sponge bag in the background and the pick beside the base do not require us to suppose that the statue is being viewed in a gymnasium, but may simply serve to define the athletic character of the monument.
