[1] A gilded statue of Phryne was made by Praxiteles, one of her lovers, but it was Phryne herself who dedicated the statue. The offerings next to Phryne include two images of Apollo, one dedicated from Persian spoils by the Epidaurians of Argolis, the other dedicated by the Megarians to commemorate a victory over the Athenians at Nisaia. The Plataeans have dedicated an ox, an offering made at the time when, in their own territory, they took part, along with the other Greeks, in the defense against Mardonios, the son of Gobryas. Then there are another two images of Apollo, one dedicated by the citizens of Herakleia on the Euxine, the other by the Amphiktyones when they fined the people of Phokis for tilling the territory of the god.
