The work delves into the genre of Greek sculpture, focusing specifically on the monuments erected at Olympia and throughout the Greek world to honor victorious athletes of the Olympic games. This examination is framed by an in-depth analysis of the artistic, cultural, and historical contexts surrounding these monuments. At the start of the text, Hyde introduces the purpose of his study, which is to reconstruct the various types and poses of surviving remnants of these victor statues, as well as to explore the literary and archaeological sources that inform this research. He emphasizes the challenges present due to the limited number of surviving artifacts and the complexities involved in identifying these monuments, which were often destroyed or lost over time. The opening chapters set the stage for an exploration of early Greek athletics, the significance of victor monuments, and the stylistic and material aspects of the art form, outlining the structure and themes that will be explored in greater detail throughout the book.
