Replicas Ancient Greek Art, Sculptures

Small Replica of the Charioteer (Heniochos) of Delphi found in 1896 by French excavators. The original, a 1.8 m Bronze Statue of Delphi. Produced in 7 separate pieces by the sculptor Sotades. The left hand is missing. It is dedicated to Apollo by Polyzalos of Gela, a brother of the tyrant of Gelon in Syracuse, the winner of a Pythian game (478 - 474) BC (From a inscription on the base that survived).
Not only does it celebrate, like the Pythian odes (of Pindar), a victory won at the festival games, but the ethos which it conveys is a manifestation of Pindaric arete... the "innate excellence" of noble natures which gives them proficiency and pride in their human endeavors before the gods. J. J. Pollitt in James Whitley the Archeology of Ancient Greece.
