Olympic victors.[2470] Besides his statue at Olympia by Glaukias of
Aegina (VI, 11.2 and 9), Pausanias says that he knows of many other
places in Greece and elsewhere where images of this victor were set up
(VI, 11.9), and records one at Thasos to which the Thasians sacrificed
as to a god (VI, 11.6). The story which he tells about this Thasian
statue being scourged and falling on the enemy of Theagenes is also
recounted at greater length by Dio Chrysostom[2471] and is mentioned
by Eusebios.[2472] Lucian says that the statue cured fevers, just as
did that of Polydamas at Olympia.[2473] Studniczka has argued that the
statues at Thasos and elsewhere were set up to honor the hero and not
the victor.[2474]
