§6.1.1ἕπεται δέ μοι τῷ λόγῳ τῷ ἐς τὰ ἀναθήματα τὸ μετὰ τοῦτο ἤδη ποιήσασθαι καὶ ἵππων ἀγωνιστῶν μνήμην καὶ ἀνδρῶν ἀθλητῶν τε καὶ ἰδιωτῶν ὁμοίως.
It follows for my account concerning the dedications to make, after this, already mention of competing horses and of men, both athletes and private individuals alike.
τῶν δὲ νικησάντων Ὀλυμπίασιν οὐχ ἁπάντων εἰσὶν ἑστηκότες ἀνδριάντες, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀποδειξάμενοι λαμπρὰ ἐς τὸν ἀγῶνα, οἱ δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ ἄλλοις ἔργοις, ὅμως οὐ τετυχήκασιν εἰκόνων·
Not of all who have conquered at Olympia are there statues standing, but even some who showed brilliant achievements in the contest, or others for other deeds, yet did not obtain images.
§6.1.2τούτους ἐκέλευσεν ἀφεῖναί με ὁ λόγος, ὅτι οὐ κατάλογός ἐστιν ἀθλητῶν ὁπόσοις γεγόνασιν Ὀλυμπικαὶ νῖκαι, ἀναθημάτων δὲ ἄλλων τε καὶ εἰκόνων συγγραφή.
These my account has commanded me to leave aside, because it is not a catalogue of all athletes who have gained Olympic victories, but a description of other dedications and especially of images.
οὐδὲ ὁπόσων ἑστήκασιν ἀνδριάντες, οὐδὲ τούτοις πᾶσιν ἐπέξειμι, ἐπιστάμενος ὅσοι τῷ παραλόγῳ τοῦ κλήρου καὶ οὐχ ὑπὸ ἰσχύος ἀνείλοντο ἤδη τὸν κότινον·
Nor of those whose statues stand shall I go through all, knowing how many have already carried off the wild-olive crown by the unexpected turn of the lot and not by strength.
ὁπόσοις δὲ ἢ αὐτοῖς τι εἶχεν ἐς δόξαν ἢ καὶ τοῖς ἀνδριᾶσιν ὑπῆρχεν ἄμεινον ἑτέρων πεποιῆσθαι, τοσαῦτα καὶ αὐτὸς μνησθήσομαι.
But of those who either themselves had something to contribute to glory or whose statues happened to be more finely made than others, of these I too shall make mention.
§6.1.3ἔστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ ναοῦ τῆς Ἥρας ἀνδρὸς εἰκὼν παλαιστοῦ, γένος δὲ ἦν Ἠλεῖος, Σύμμαχος Αἰσχύλου·
On the right of the temple of Hera is the image of a wrestler, an Elean by race, Symmachus the son of Aeschylus.
παρὰ δὲ αὐτὸν ἐκ Φενεοῦ τῆς Ἀρκάδων Νεολαΐδας Προξένου, πυγμῆς ἐν παισὶν ἀνῃρημένος νίκην·
Beside him is Neolaidas the son of Proxenus, from Pheneus of the Arcadians, who won a victory in boys' boxing.
ἐφεξῆς δὲ Ἀρχέδαμος Ξενίου, καταβαλὼν καὶ οὗτος παλαιστὰς παῖδας, γένος καὶ αὐτὸς Ἠλεῖος.
Next is Archedamus the son of Xenias, who also threw boy wrestlers, and was himself an Elean by race.
τούτων τῶν κατειλεγμένων εἰργάσατο Ἄλυπος τὰς εἰκόνας Σικυώνιος, Ναυκύδους τοῦ Ἀργείου μαθητής.
The statues of these men just mentioned were made by Alypus of Sicyon, a pupil of Naucydes the Argive.
§6.1.4Κλεογένην δὲ Σιληνοῦ τὸ ἐπίγραμμα τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ φησιν εἶναι τῶν ἐπιχωρίων, ἐκ δὲ ἀγέλης αὐτὸν οἰκείας ἵππῳ κρατῆσαι κέλητι.
As for Cleogenes the son of Silenus, the inscription upon him says that he was one of the natives, and that he won with a riding-horse from his own herd.
πλησίον δὲ τοῦ Κλεογένους Δεινόλοχός τε κεῖται Πύρρου καὶ Τρωίλος Ἀλκίνου.
Near Cleogenes lie both Deinolochus the son of Pyrrhus and Troilus the son of Alcinus.
τούτοις γένος μὲν καὶ αὐτοῖς ἐστιν ἐξ Ἤλιδος, γεγόνασι δέ σφισιν οὐ κατὰ ταὐτὰ αἱ νῖκαι·
These too are of Elean race, but their victories did not happen in the same way.
ἀλλὰ τῷ μὲν ἑλλανοδικεῖν τε ὁμοῦ καὶ ἵππων ὑπῆρξεν ἀνελέσθαι νίκας τῷ Τρωίλῳ τελείᾳ τε συνωρίδι καὶ πώλων ἅρματι —Ὀλυμπιάδι δὲ ἐκράτει δευτέρᾳ πρὸς ταῖς ἑκατόν, §6.1.5ἀπὸ τούτου δὲ καὶ νόμος ἐγένετο Ἠλείοις μηδὲ ἵππους τοῦ λοιποῦ τῶν ἑλλανοδικούντων καθιέναι μηδένα—, τούτου μὲν δὴ τὸν ἀνδριάντα ἐποίησε Λύσιππος·
For to Troilus it befell to be a Hellanodikes and at the same time to carry off victories with horses, with a full-grown pair and with a chariot of foals—he won in the hundred and second Olympiad, and from this there also arose a law for the Eleans that for the future no one of the Hellanodikai should enter horses—and Lysippus made his statue.
ἡ δὲ τοῦ Δεινολόχου μήτηρ εἶδεν ὄψιν ὀνείρατος ὡς ἔχοιτο τοῦ παιδὸς ἐν τοῖς κόλποις ἐστεφανωμένου, καὶ τοῦδε ἕνεκα ἐς τὸν ἀγῶνα ὁ Δεινόλοχος ἠσκήθη καὶ τοὺς παῖδας παρέθει τρέχων.
But the mother of Deinolochus saw a vision in a dream that she held her child in her lap crowned, and for this reason Deinolochus was trained for the contest and outran the boys in the race.
Σικυωνίου δὲ Κλέωνός ἐστιν ἡ εἰκών.
His statue is by Cleon of Sicyon.
§6.1.6ἐς δὲ τὴν Ἀρχιδάμου Κυνίσκαν, ἐς τὸ γένος τε αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς Ὀλυμπικαῖς νίκαις, πρότερον ἔτι ἐδήλωσα ἐν τοῖς λόγοις οἳ ἐς τοὺς βασιλέας τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίων ἔχουσι·
As for Cynisca, the daughter of Archidamus, both her pedigree and her Olympic victories I have already set forth earlier in the accounts concerning the kings of the Lacedaemonians.
πεποίηται δὲ ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ παρὰ τὸν ἀνδριάντα τοῦ Τρωίλου λίθου κρηπὶς καὶ ἅρμα τε ἵππων καὶ ἀνὴρ ἡνίοχος καὶ αὐτῆς Κυνίσκας εἰκών, Ἀπελλοῦ τέχνη, γέγραπται δὲ καὶ ἐπιγράμματα ἐς τὴν Κυνίσκαν ἔχοντα.
At Olympia, beside the statue of Troilus, there has been made a stone base, and a chariot of horses, a charioteer, and an image of Cynisca herself, the work of Apellas, and there are also inscriptions written concerning Cynisca.
§6.1.7εἰσὶ δὲ Λακεδαιμόνιοι καὶ ἐφεξῆς ἀνακείμενοι τῇ Κυνίσκᾳ, ἵππων νῖκαι γεγόνασιν αὐτοῖς·
There are also Lacedaemonians dedicated next to Cynisca, who gained victories with horses.
Ἀνάξανδρος μὲν ἅρματι ἀνηγορεύθη πρῶτος, τὸ δὲ ἐπίγραμμά φησι τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ Ἀναξάνδρου πρότερον ἔτι στεφανωθῆναι τὸν πατέρα πεντάθλῳ.
Anaxandrus was first proclaimed victor with a chariot, and the inscription upon him says that the father of Anaxandrus' father had been crowned even earlier in the pentathlon.
οὗτος μὲν δὴ ἔοικεν εὐχόμενος τῷ θεῷ, Πολυκλῆς δὲ ἐπίκλησιν λαβὼν Πολύχαλκος τεθρίππῳ μὲν καὶ οὗτος ἐκράτησεν, ἡ δὲ εἰκὼν ἐπὶ τῇ χειρὶ ἔχει οἱ τῇ δεξιᾷ ταινίαν·
He indeed seems to be praying to the god; and Polycles, who received the surname Polychalcos, also won with a four-horse chariot, and his statue has a ribbon in his right hand.
§6.1.8παρὰ δὲ αὐτῷ παιδία δύο τὸ μὲν τροχὸν κατέχει, τὸ δὲ αἰτεῖ τὴν ταινίαν.
Beside him are two small boys, one holding the wheel, the other asking for the ribbon.
ἐνίκησε δὲ ὁ Πολυκλῆς ἵπποις, ὡς τὸ ἐπίγραμμα τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ λέγει, καὶ Πυθοῖ καὶ Ἰσθμοῖ τε καὶ Νεμέᾳ.
Polycles won with horses, as the inscription upon him says, both at Pytho and at the Isthmus, and at Nemea.
