Ζεύξιδος

“

χορος:
ὦ Κύπριδι τῇ καλῇ
καὶ Χάρισι ταῖς φίλαις
ξύντροφε Διαλλαγή,
ὡς καλὸν ἔχουσα τὸ πρόσωπον ἄρ᾽ ἐλάνθανες.
πῶς ἂν ἔμε καὶ σέ τις Ἔρως συνάγοι λαβών,
ὥσπερ ὁ γεγραμμένος ἔχων στέφανον ἀνθέμων.
”

Ar. Ach. 989
“Ζεῦξις ὁ ζωγράφος ἐν τῷ ναῷ τῆς Ἀφροδίτης ἐν ταῖς Ἀθήναις ἔγραψεν Ἔρωτα ὡραιότατον ἐστεμμένον ῥόδοις.” Sch. Ar. Ach. 989 “ ... Zeuxis atque Parrhasius ... quorum prior luminum umbrarumque invenisse rationem ... traditur. nam Zeuxis plus membris corporis dedit, id amplius atque augustius ratus, ut existimant Homerum secutus, cui validissima quaeque forma etiam in feminis placet.” *quint. 12. 10. 4 de pictoribus

“ἄκουε δὴ καὶ ἑτέρου ζωγράφου, ὡς μὲν σὺ φαίης ἄν, ἀλαζονευομένου, ὡς δὲ οἱ ταῦτα δεινοὶ λέγουσιν, οὐ μεῖζον ἢ προσῆκον φρονήσαντος: λέγει δὲ τί;

Ἡράκλεια πατρίς, Ζεῦξις δ᾽ ὄνομ᾽: εἰ δέ τις ἀνδρῶν
ἡμετέρης τέχνης πείρατά φησιν ἔχειν,
δείξας νικάτω
... δοκῶ δ᾽ ἡμᾶς οὐχὶ τὰ δεύτερ᾽ ἔχειν.
