The meaning of the subject is not known. In the ritual inscription of Andania the initiated are ordered to have bare feet, and possibly the Victory is supposed to be removing her sandals before entering a shrine. Dittenberger, _Syll._, 388, 15, cf. _ibidem_, 357, 25. [Sidenote: =428=] Winged Victory standing turned to the left, the right arm advanced. The right hand and all the left arm being broken away, the motive of this figure has not been ascertained, but probably the Victory was decking a trophy. Kekulé, _Balustrade_, pl. 4, fig. M; _Arch. Zeit._, 1862, pl. 162; Overbeck, _Gr. Plast._, 3rd ed., I., fig. 82; Brunn, _Denkmaeler_, No. 35. [Sidenote: =429.=] Two winged Victories about to sacrifice a bull, which one of them is holding back as it springs forward. The other Victory leads the way, moving to the right. Ross, pl. 13, fig.

The Choragic Monument of Lysicrates is a small edifice which presents one of the earliest examples of the use of the Corinthian order in Greek architecture. It may be thus described. On a square basement is a cylindrical structure resting on six Corinthian columns. Between them are six equal panels of white marble closely joined; at each vertical joint a Corinthian column has been fitted, so as to project more than half its diameter. Between the capitals were figures of tripods in relief, of which only one now survives. Above the colonnade is the entablature and a cupola or _tholos_; this is in the form of a tiling of laurel-leaves richly decorated round the circumference with a double row of projecting ornaments. From the apex of the roof rises a mass of foliage arranged in a triple form, on the three most projecting leaves of which was placed a bronze tripod, dedicated by a choragos, who had provided a victorious chorus. An inscription on the architrave immediately below the figure of Dionysos furnishes the name and date of the dedicator. It runs,[*] "Lysicrates of Kikynna, son of Lysitheides, was Choragos. The youths of the tribe Acamantis were victors, Theon was the flute player, Lysiades an Athenian was the instructor of the Chorus, Euainetos was Archon." The mention of this magistrate fixes the date of the monument to B.C. 335-4. *: _C. I. G._ 221; _C. I. A._, II., 1242. [Greek: Lysikratês Lysitheidou Kikynneus echorêgei. Akamantis paidôn enika.
