		Pliny cited him as a contemporary of Kritios and Nesiotes, and mentioned several statues by him (Natural History XXXIV.xix.49, 78): the Dioscouroi in front of the Temple of Jupiter Tonans in Rome; a group of boys riding racehorses; an Athena; King Pyrrhus, undoubtedly the son of Achilles rather than the Hellenistic king; and a Herakles.

		(See Milo of Croton.) Sculptors would create statues of Olympic victors (see Ageladas), and poets would sing odes in their praise.
		It is often said that wars were halted during the Games but this is not true; however, athletes, who were often soldiers, were permitted to leave the army to participate in the Games, and were guaranteed safe passage through enemy territory.

		They say that this statue is, for the most part, quite like those of the Egyptians, because it has the hands suspended at its sides, and the legs parted as if in walking.
		Polykleitos of Sikyon, a disciple of Ageladas, made a Diadoumenos (one who binds a fillet on his head), a soft-looking youth which is famous for having cost one hundred talents; and a Doryphoros (spear bearer), a virile looking boy.
		He also made a statue which artists call the "Canon" and from which they derive the basic forms of their art, as if from some kind of law; thus he alone of men is deemed to have rendered art itself in a work of art.
