The nike of paeonios. The statue of Nike was a votive offering to Zeus from the Messenians and the Naupactians for their victory against the Spartans in the Archidameian war (most probably in 421 BC). It was sculpted in Parian marble by Paeonios from Mende in Chalkidiki.
The statue 2.11 m. in height stood at the southeast corner of the temple of Zeus on a triangular base, 8.81 m. high.The leaning forward of the figure, the waving of her cloak behind her, the opening of the wings and the goddess right foot, resting upon the eagle - a symbol of Zeus and of air - all these give the impression of her flying descent from Olympus to proclaim the victory.
The thin chiton which clings to the goddess' vigorous body, emphasizes the sense of strength and charm evoked by her youthful figure.The inscription on the base reads as following:
(The Messenians and the Naupactians dedicated to Olympian Zeus a tithe [one tenth] of the booty taken from their enemies) and a little lower: (Paeonios of Mende made this [statue] as well as the acroteria above the temple for which he won a prise). Museum of Olympia.

Statue of dionysos. Found at Eleusis. The god is depicted partly nude , wearing a himation that is wound around the lower part of his body and also covers his left shoulder.

Hermes of Praxiteles. Parian marble height 2.13m . Found during excavations at the temple of Hera in 1877. The messenger of the gods, charged by Zeus to take the infant Dionysos to the Nymphs, who were to nurse him, rests on the way having thrown his cloak over a tree trunk. In his raised right arm he was probably holding a bunch of grapes, a symbol associated with the future god of wine. Dionysos reaches out for it. The sculptor brought out the beauty of the figure by expressing the Olympian serenity of the god's face and the harmony of his body. The highly polished surface adds to the graceful and soft characteristics of the art of Praxiteles. 340 BC. Archaeological Museum of Olympia
