Near the statue of Demosthenes is a sanctuary of Ares, where are placed two images of Aphrodite, one of Ares made by Alcamenes, and one of Athena made by a Parian of the name of Locrus. There is also an image of Enyo, made by the sons of Praxiteles. About the temple stand images of Heracles, Theseus, Apollo binding his hair with a fillet, and statues of Calades,1 who it is said framed laws2 for the Athenians, and of Pindar, the statue being one of the rewards the Athenians gave him for praising them in an ode.

1 Nothing more is known of this person.

2 Or “tunes.”
