  Pausanias relates a story regarding a statue of Theagenes made by Glaucias of Aegina. A man in Thasos had a grudge against Theagenes for his victories and scourged the statue by way of revenge. One night, the statue fell upon the man, killing him. The statue was put on trial for murder, found guilty, and exiled by being thrown into the sea. The land then became barren. The Oracle of Delphi declared that the country would remain so until they restored the statue of Theagenes. The crew of a fishing vessel caught the statue in a net and brought it to shore so it could be returned to its original site.
