Notes to answerer
Asker: Grazie a tutti! immaginavo fosse questa la traduzione, ma temevo che tripode potesse avere un significato figurato o che potesse riferirsi sì a un tripode, ma posizionato in qualche luogo strategico come dedica per il vincitore dell'agone.

agree  silviacasilli: sono d'accordo. Praticamente indica un trofeo, ma non è un trofeo qualunque, quindi val la pena mantenere il vocabolo 'tripode' http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripode

agree  Giuseppe Bellone: Cito una frase per un'altra spiegazioe: I tripodi venivano offerti come dono agli dei (il "tripode sacrificale" era un particolare tipo di altare), agli ospiti e agli atleti vittoriosi. :))
