Abstract

Lucianus attributes the talent of akribeia (‘exactness’) to the painter Zeuxis, his true ‘double’ in the homonymous writing, but he does not refer this skill to himself. The study examines the writer’s choice in the context of the ancient debate about the role of precision in literary composition.
