After the statues of the eponymoi come statues of gods, Amphiaraus, and Eirene （Peace） carrying the boy Plutus （Wealth）. Here stands a bronze figure of Lycurgus,¹ son of Lycophron, and of Callias, who, as most of the Athenians say, brought about the peace between the Greeks and Artaxerxes, son of Xerxes.² Here also is Demosthenes, whom the Athenians forced to retire to Calauria, the island off Troezen, and then, after receiving him back, banished again after the disaster at Lamia.

1 An Athenian orator who did great service to Athens when Demosthenes was trying to stir up his countrymen against Philip of Macedon.

2 c. 448 B.C.
