Diadumenos
The ''Diadumenos'' ("diadem-bearer"), together with the ''Doryphoros'' (spear bearer), are two of the most famous figural types of the sculptor Polyclitus, forming a basic pattern of Ancient Greek sculpture that all present strictly idealised representations of young male athletes in a convincingly naturalistic manner.
The ''Diadumenos'' is the winner of an athletic contest at a games, still nude after the contest and lifting his arms to knot the diadem, a ribbon-band that identifies the winner and which in the bronze original of about 420 BCE would have been represented by a ribbon of bronze.〔In Hellenistic times the diadem became a symbol of royalty; in the Polyclitan ''Diadumenos'', however, the action is still a simple tying-on of the winner's headband.〕 The figure stands in contrapposto with his weight on his right foot, his left knee slightly bent and his head inclined slightly to the right, self-contained, seeming to be lost in thought. Phidias was credited with a statue of a victor at Olympia in the act of tying the fillet around his head; besides Polyclitus, his successors Lysippos and Scopas also created figures of this kind.

Both Pliny's Natural History and Lucian's ''Philopseudes''〔Pliny's Natural History, xxxiv.55f; ''Philopseudes'', 18, praising the ''Diadoumenos'' for its beauty〕 described Roman marbles of a ''Diadumenos'' copied from Greek originals in bronze, yet it was not recognized until 1878〔Adolf Michaelis, 1878. "Tre statue Policlitee", ''Annali dell'Instituto di Corrispondenza Archeologica'' pp 5-30, noted in Haskell and Penny 1981:118, note 11.〕 that the Roman marble from Vaison-la-Romaine (Roman Vasio) in the British Museum and two others recreate the lost Polyclitan bronze original.〔The hands have been lost.〕 Pliny recorded that the Polyclitan original fetched at auction the extraordinary price of a hundred talents, an enormous sum in Antiquity, as Adolf Furtwängler pointed out.〔Furtwängler, ''Masterpieces of Greek Sculpture: A Series of Essays on the History of Art'' (Heineman) 1895:245, in a chapter "Diadumenos and Doryphoros" that recreates Polyclitus' artistic development in confident detail that would no longer be considered possible.〕 Indeed, Roman marble copies must have abounded, to judge from the number of recognizable fragments and complete works, including a at the Louvre, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and another complete example of somewhat different character, the somewhat below lifesize Roman marble Farnese Diadumenos at the British Museum, which preserves the end of the ribband falling from the right hand. Another version in the British Museum, slightly damaged but in otherwise reasonable condition, is from Vaison in France. Freer versions were executed in reduced scale as bronze statuettes,〔For example, the bronze statuette conserved in the Cabinet des médailles of the Bibliothèque National〕 and the head of Diadumenos-type appears on numerous Roman engraved gems.〔The less often seen full figure appears on a plasma gem described and illustrated by Sidney Colvin, "A New Diadumenos Gem", ''The Journal of Hellenic Studies'' 2 (1881:352-353)〕
The marble ''Diadumenos'' from Delos at the National Museum, Athens (''right'') has the winner's cloak and his quiver laid upon the tree stump, hinting that he is the victor in an archery match, with perhaps an implied reference to Apollo, who was conceived, too, as an idealised youth.
