Summary

[edit]
Description

Χ. 6439. Bronze portrait head of a boxer. Found at Olympia. The man is crowned with kotinos, the olive-wreath awarded to victors in the Olympic Games, of which only the stem is preserved. The individual facial features have Jed to the identification of the figure as a boxer. The head probably belonged to a statue of the famous boxer Satyros of Elis, who repeatedly won the boxing event at Nemea, Pythia and Olympia. The statue of Satyros at Olympia was the work of the Athenian bronze-sculptor Siianioa About 330-320 BC. National Archaeological Museum, Athens, Greece. --- Χ. 6439. Χάλκινη εικονιστική κεφαλή πυγμάχου. Βρέθηκε στην Ολυμπία Στέφεται με κόηνον (στεφάνι ελιάς), το έπαθλο «αν νικητών στους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες, από τον οποίο σώζεται μονο το στέλεχος. Τα εξατομικευμένα χαρακτηριστικά του προσώπου οδηγούν στην ταύτιση της μορφής με πυγμάχο. Πιθανώς ανήκε στο άγαλμα του φημισμένου πυγμάχου Σατύρου από την Ήλιδα, κατ' επανάληψη νικητή στα Νεμέα, στα Πύθια και στους αγώνες της Ολυμπίας. Τον ανδριάντα του Σατύρου είχε φιλοτεχνήσει ο Αθηναίος χαλκοπλάστης Σιλανίων. Γύρω στο 330-320 π.Χ.
